[] I am bummed.....I forgot about the ruler! grrrrrrr..

here is a common carp that I caught today for

the ultimate 16 species contest. But I had no ruler. I gotta get a big one

I only have a tiny, unreadable one!







I was also catching carp on my ultralight! THAT was fun!

Well at least you had your sticker this time! Next time you'll have both when you get the really big one. Al

[#008080][size 2][font "Alfredo's Dance"][#008080]Why don't you get one of those retractable rulers that you can clip onto your fishing vest. It will always be there when needed[/#008080]. I don't know whether or not if they are available beyond 48".[][/font][/size][/#008080]

I have one of those retractable ones, and it's all rusted from use.

I guess I should clip it back on though.

I am also afraid of it reflecting into the water..it's silver.

You made the iron on BFT patch and you haven't thought about packing a fabric tape with you? That's what I carry for fishing.

Available for about .50 at any fabric or craft shop. Cheap, washable, stuffable, visible. I just roll it up and put it in any pocket or pouch. Well, that's how I start. It usually ends up just stuffed into a pocket I started with a green one, but it was a little hard to see in pictures, then I got a yellow 36". Works great!

Oh, yeah I edited to add that since it is flexible, so it lays the length of the fish without kinks. Much more accurate measuring. Hope it helps.
