Nice dart boys!!!! U guys been puttin some time in i heard whack em up boyz!

[Jigman13]

Not trying to be a d*ick here, and I know it's tough to measure a fish while its flopping around and your fingers are numb, but that last slime dart is 26.5". The nose is a .25" shy of the front of the tape when you zoom in and the top lobe of the tail seems to be a hair shy of the 7/8 line. Again, not trying to be a douche-bigelow. The contest is FUN first... Just offering up my nearly meaningless opinion

Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled...

Wasn't going to say anything but now that you chimed in I'd have to say I agree. Tail is around 26.25-26.5 and the head isn't at the tip of the tape. Tail is pinched too. I'd say 26. Great pickerel but Dale's is definitely bigger.

Alright then, I guess the majority has spoken. I'm trying not to be too critical with anglers measurements but being as 2 guys have chimed in I guess I have to chop the Pickerel down a little bit. Let's keep it fair. There's more than one fish on this thread that can be chopped down.

TIGHT LINEZ!!!
GO CATCH SOMETHING!!!

i'm not in the contest, but i joked and said you guys need to make bumper boards the door prize! I've been thinking from the very beginning most of these fish measurements are off by at least a half inch! both bigger and smaller than actuality.

I've been doing online c&r contests for a while now and got pretty good at zooming in on the picture, using a straight edge and some simple math and getting a pretty near exact measurement of the fish. Since I don't personally know any of you guys in the contest and i'm not in the contest i'd be willing to give my opinion on the measurements of the top 5-6 fish if you want.

regardless how they measure up they are still great fish!!for now just save the pics and Eddie can check them later.go out and try to beat them.i for one am
fishing lh both days this weekend and with allot of luck maybe I can get a fish
that is worthy of a pic.

Hey man not to be a d*ck or anything but your fish also isn't what you claim it to be. The mouth is open and if you take a straight edge the tail is not at the 20 inch mark. This is just my opinion and I hope you dont take it the wrong way.
