		A couple weeks ago, it was a few days after that cold rainy period in May, I caught my PB walleye barely out of the north marina. I thought it measured 27” in the boat but it must have shrunk in the cooler because it was 25” when I got home. Only fish I caught that day.

		I have the same problem with shrinkage and not just on fish. Some giant bucks I've killed have had the horns shrink big time once they hit the ground! Congratulations on a great Walleye!
