I've had some pretty special March afternoons on that river. Spinnerbait time's coming!

Good play sir! For the record, I never set the hook on a short fish. The measure is simply there for the self esteem of the guy in the back of the boat. I will occasionally drop one in it so the guy in the back thinks we are catching the same size fish.

Just messing with you. I got one of those for Christmas last year and regifted it....LOL. I carry a Hawg Trough which has been broken at the 25 inch mark. Got used to using it when I was kayaking and now continue to use it now that I'm back in a boat. Sore Lip'Em All!

I knew you were messing with me. I got lazy and didn't use a smiley thingamagig. The hawg trough at 25" would be too short to measure my crappie. To protect it while fishing from your kayak, you should store it under the cowling on the outboard.... this assuming it's 200hp or more.

I have a tough time getting fish to reach where the numbers start on the hawg trough much less 25".

Thank you. I ran outboard jets for quite a while, but made the mistake of taking a test ride in one. It is a blast to drive. It turns on a dime and runs super skinny.

Travis, I designed my own measuring board using an old cloth tape measure.
Just cut off the first 6 or 8 inches (or more ) as desired and any fish will measure. I always release the trophy sized gills that I measure.

I have always wanted to ride in one of those. If you ever give demos let me know. Give me notice so I can grab a box of Depends.

Definitely jealous, kinda funny though thats the same boat I've been looking into buying. What kind of jet pack you got on that rig? and fellas it looks like we're going to get a good taste of spring later next week. Whites and saugers should really get going if the weather holds, full moon is next sunday

Thanks for the clarification on the measuring device, and I can't get over that boat. I was looking at one about 2 years ago, but with rumors of my job moving, I just couldn't do it.
