Skillful Angler question...

[Skunk City]

I think they want as little work as possible. I think if you sent them a picture of a 34" Pike with a 12" ruler next to it, they probably would not honor it. Too much room for interpretation creates problems, especially if it came down to a tie. I keep a small, rollable tape measure in my tacklebag for when I am bank beating, and a regular retractable one every other time I am out in the yak or boat.
