[#0000FF]Glad you were able to get on the water and do battle with something bigger than cookie cutters. But you evidently ignored the livewell shrinkage factor. It happens all the time. Toss in a fish that will easily surpass your minimum standard and by the time you take it out for an official measurement it will have shrunk by at least 10%...sometimes much more.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Here is a picture of TopH2O on Starvation from a couple of years ago. He motored up near my tube and announced that he had a 24 inch rainbow in his livewell. In my most discreet BS tone I "requested" that he show me this beast. WOW. When he took the fish out of the livewell it had shrunk by at least 5 inches. I guess the waters of some lakes have greater shrinking capacity than others.[/#0000FF]
