[QUOTE="Phill Latio, post: 262185, member: 1590"] I would see how it would be very consistent for the same person measuring ALL the fish but multiple people are measuring these fish aren't they? Who's to say one person isn't pinching that tail more than another? Who's to say one person isn't pulling that pinched tail more than another? Im sure they have some type of "training" on this to stay consistent but when you're going through hundreds of fish, especially most at the same time, there's more room for error. Im assuming everyone is measuring their own fish and keeping a log to check them for accuracy at the weigh in I remember fishing a tournament a few years ago when you could only have two fish over 20". This guy starts measuring mine and said "you have 4 fish over 20" here" I said the F' I do. I watched him measure them and when he pinched the tail he pulled on them a little so they just touched over 20. After arguing about how you're supposed to measure fish in only had two over 20. He didn't even realize he was doing it......just saying with that much money on the line.... [/QUOTE]
