    Default But Officer, I forgot my


    RULER!! If this has ever been an issue for you even for non-fishing needs, look to your wallet for the cure...that is if you can FIND it! Three things that are highly likely to be on-person when away from the hacienda are Driver's license, credit card(or three), and a dollar bill(or if your Slab $100 bills) Credit cards & Driver's licenses commonly share the same footprint(2 1/8 x 3 3/8" = 5 1/2" total) Dollar bills are 2 5/8 x 6 1/8= 8 3/4". Now, before you micrometer users(you know who you are) start projecting poisonous blow-darts my way, remember this = If you need to use dollar bills & DL/CC's for measuring devices these are accurate enough!! Or, maybe carry your high dollar micrometer w/ya! Taking this a step further for the slow learners- a 6" fish(shame on you)is worth $1, a 12" is worth $2, a 9" fish is worth $1.50(confused yet, great) if you're like me, God help ya) I cull @ 11" ($1.82) No measuring device could cost you largely!! For DL/CC tablet, for my 11" minimum use 2L +2W = 11" See photo below for marked bill-Technique = fold bill into thirds, then in half...Magic- 1" increments!
    "Dollars rule" the universe!!
    And remember... "Please measure when ya can cause it's good fer ya- wallet!"
    Now, for all the non-Seniors- Got your fishing license?

    I have an I-phone, they have a built in electronic tape measure. Just bring it up and click on the tail of the fish move the dot forward to the other end and click again...the measurement pops up......

    LMAO@ up2specks! I actually have one of the Frabel crappie measures on my boat, but I thought we were coming up with exotic ways to measure fish!

    I spread my hand as far as it will go and from pinky tip to thumb tip is dangerously close to 9”. I always carry that too.
