i originally had some denied because the ruler wasnt straight, fishing solo and using a loose tailor's tape is very hard to get right :P
and then tape measure i carried was pocket sized and the numbers were so small that it wasnt clearly readable.
Even with a big tape measure it can be hard to measure when solo. I think my last few i fortunately had a buddy and they took the picture as I held them perfectly align on the tape.

I dont mind the strictness but i would like the denied submissions to still get recognition, as well as show runner ups on the public results board.

Also some people just dont have a tape on them. That happened to me last year with the bigger walleye, my 2nd smaller one ended up on the leaderboard. Would prefer the big one be showcased somehow, picture was so much better too.
