Sounds like a challenge there Trey!
Watchout cause I am learning how to get them flatties.

[Darth Wader]

Darth, to answer your question, if you are using a bump board and you position the nose of the fish towards the top or bottom of the "BUMP" so that the full length of the tail is shown on the "BOARD" then that is OK as long as the tail has not been pinched and the nose is in full contact with the bump and the mouth is closed. This should not create an advantage or disadvantage for anyone.

Sounds good, thanks.

[BIG AL]

To pinch or not to pinch that is the question.I have been sitting back watching these challenges for to long.Time for the big man to get involved.It could be all over now for ya ll.

[RED RAIDER]

I guess I will play this time.
I have had so much bad luck lately that I am really due for run of good luck.

[Sequoia]

To pinch or not to pinch that is the question.

No tail pinching is the answer. Good luck Big Al.

[fuzzy]

I may be able to catch the red and trout here at work.Flounder? I can't remember the last time I caught one.

[reeltime]

Don't know who RR is,? Don't know about the showdown? Sounds too competitive to me...But truly I want to know the laws as a State Game Warden is instructed to follow!

THAT WOULD BE "RED RADIER" IGOTTAFISH

[Brazos]

So no pinching and TPWD says to?
Brazos

Use these guidelines to measure fish correctly (total length):

   1. Place the fish on its side with the jaw closed.
   2. Squeeze the tail fin together or turn it in a way to obtain the maximum overall length.
   3. Measure a straight line from the tip of the snout to the extreme tip of the tail fin.

How to measure fish

No tail pinching is the answer. Good luck Big Al.

This is valid question. The issue that I see with pinching the tails is this. Someone could post a 27" redfish with the tail pinched making it 28". Then another person could post a 28" redfish without the tail pinched. The argument could be made that the 28" fish would be "OVERSIZED" if the tail was pinched. Therefor it would be disqualified.

I would like the "No Pinched" tail rule to stand for this challenge.

Darth, to answer your question, if you are using a bump board and you position the nose of the fish towards the top or bottom of the "BUMP" so that the full length of the tail is shown on the "BOARD" then that is OK as long as the tail has not been pinched and the nose is in full contact with the bump and the mouth is closed. This should not create an advantage or disadvantage for anyone.

I will review the Pinched tail question with the Mods for future challenges.

Thats correct Brazos, for this months challenge I am asking that tails not be pinched.

[BossHogg]

I got this one guys don't even bother trying.  Bosshog has turned me on to the magic potion "the beast light"  since I have made the switch from bud light fish just seem to be jumping on my boat.  You guys do not stand a chance.

Whoa there fella!  I'm not sure you can truly harness the power of The Beast Light!  Many have tried, and even more have gone down in flames!

I might have to get involved in this one.  I don't like the ones where you have to print out the certificate.  Let the whoopins commence!

[b0xii]

KOTH flounder.  Picked this one up this morning in Anahuac.

[BossHogg]

-2 inches for Gulp, and -18 inches for that hat!

[b0xii]

Ouch.  That doesn't leave me with a hell of a lot.

[Sequoia]

Way to get things started. Now go find that trout and redfish.

[bigrggiii]

And the Longhorns take the lead!!!!!!!!!!!
