Maybe what I'm about to say doesn't matter because I'm not doing the contest or maybe it does cause it's totally unbiased... Shut up and fish? Hell yeah have to agree, yet a contest is a contest. Whether it's for big money, small prizes, or just bragging rights; it's nothing if it's not fair, that goes for the entry fees and the measuring.

It's kind of messed up that Eddie kind of put the pay in on honor system and guys are taking advantage of it. Bow out if you haven't paid honestly it's the only respectful thing to do.

As for the fish measurements, I checked some of them and many were up to a quarter inch off, seems silly I know but hey a contest is a contest right. One guys 5" can't be another guys 4 3/4". For example sax matts pickerel is actually 1/8" bigger than he put it in as! Monster!

Anyway it has to be understood that no matter how close you look with the naked eye and try to line it up, you will never get that nose lined up with the zero mark. Make it easy next year and mandatory bumper boards for all!
