Thank you T9 - I guess mine is a IN12 too then. Haven't looked at it in 6 months. Hard to see the video on my phone.

 

The 2-oz resolution is exactly why I bought the IN12. In Indiana, I'm never going to catch a bass or walleye bigger than 12 pounds anyway. They do make an IN10 version, but it was only accurate to 4 oz., so that was another reason why I went with the IN12 instead.

I got mine so long ago, I don't remember the details. I used to get weights and measures from two counties to certify it.

This is actually a buddy of mine. There are a lot of skeptics out there but I tell you this guy is honest. He currently holds the world length record for brown trout as well. His name is Eric Haataja. I am going up to fish brown trout with him in 2 weeks!

The IGFA length record is silly. They just want to sell their $50 "official measuring device" that the fish has to be photographed on to be accepted. Sebile has a "hype video" featuring Patrick Sebile catching a length record bass and says that he had been hunting the bass for "years and years!" It was a 24" bass, I have caught one that size here in VA, and not to discredit a fish that size, but on Okeechobee where he caught it, I doubt that fish would even get a second look from anglers who fish there.

 

 

Eric's videos on youtube are awesome, he's a no-nonsense guy and flat out catches fish. Some of the browns they catch in Milwaukee are insanely large. More like all of the browns they catch.

Those browns are in the harbors from just before ice up until immediately after ice out. There are a lot of lake trout accidently caught while brown fishing. The lakers have a regulated season, the browns do not.

I have been up and fished with Eric a couple times for the big browns.  It is a blast, but more like social fishing, since it is through the ice.  Caught my 2 biggest browns that way though!
