I am not saying any of your fish are short, but I would hate for someone to get a ticket for a short fish due to incorrect measuring. This is just a friendly FYI.
How to Measure a Freshwater Fish
From the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Fishing Regulations
1.Place the fish on its side with the jaw closed.
2.Squeeze the tail fin lobes together.
3.Measure in a straight line from the tip of the snout to the extreme tip of the tail.
4.You must release all fish shorter than the minimum length indicated for that species.
