Driftless Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Most anglers that catch trout are poor judges of length. Most that do the actual catching guess too long and the ones that guess the length are typically a tad bit jealous and competitive and under guess. The ones who have caught many big trout and are sure in their fishing prowess are typically close to right. We measured it against the rod and got a measurement later. What do you guess?

Driftless Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I typically use my net as a measuring device. LL Bean net had 17.5 inch opening. Net bag was too shallow so I replaced it. Outside hoop measure is 20.5 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
