    Another Measurment

    Being a machinist I had a problem with the whole tape measure thing so I did it again but I did it right.

    This is the smaller of the 2 big ones. I like this ones colors better. and he measures exactly 4.164

    Great growth.Too funny Steve, we think alike, I was looking for my calipers yesterday to take measurements, but must have left them at work. Nicely done. Great job with them!

              Steve,

              Looking great! I was thinking the same thing when trying to measure with a tape. It's just not exactly accurate. You can get a pretty good idea though. For my measurements next month I'm going to go your route and get a better measurement system going. Well done my friend!

              Best wishes!

                  It's not fair. The fish is sticking it's mouth out to get more length. By the way, I am not up on the history of the fish. So, how much growth did you get in how many weeks? The color looks amazing, by the way.

                    Looks like Kenny's got a nice gage setup too.

                    I don't know Jim, it's the first time i've done it.

                    Thanks! I didn't measure them when they came in. My bad. I think they were in the 3 inch range

                      I demand a drug test. LOL. Seriously though Steve, your fish are looking great. I agree that the colors are better on this one. Great Job!

                        Steve, this one looks more thicker then the other & has a slightly stronger colour. Love the calipers, typical machinist, lov'it!
