Measuring Fish
How big do you think that is?
Answer - Approximately 3 inches bigger than it really is. You don't have a tape measure, it's a guess why guess small?
How much does it weight?
Answer - Hard to say. What do you think? Yea that seems about right.
These are questions you will hear about every other fish on the river and ones you have to be prepared to answer, and answer frequently.
Look people hear what they want to hear, and they want to hear that they just caught a big fish because they are awesome at fishing. Chances are they aren't awesome and they got lucky but what does it hurt to blow a little smoke.
Is that fish 18 inches no it's 20 inches because to an angler a 20 inch trout is something to covet an 18 inch trout isn't. So add a couple inches I'm not saying lie, well I'm not saying outright lie... I'm just saying stretch the truth, and the trout. Don't bring a tape with you, nobody wants to know the exact measurements of their fish unless they are fanatical in which case they can measure their own fish..
"I caught about three 3's and four 4's out by those ALLENS" aka islands.
ReplyDeleteHahah I thought I saw you out around those ALLENS probably worked a couple of 5's as well.
