Educate us on how to use that Hawg Trough would you, Franco.

What do you want to know? Wet it down, put the fish on it, pinch the jaws, spread the tail, and read the length.

You'd think I lost a bet with the hat, LMAO....I actually wear it a lot.

i have a flanel clark griswold hat with the ear flaps lol, wear it all the time

flip the hat over and use it as a tounament weigh in bag

Maybe that would work for you.  I don't catch dinks.  8-)

shoot that hat could hold more than dinks rofl...it could make the balloon on a hot hair balloon

I dig the hat man just so ya know

Not every fisher person should wear the same old boring crap or whatever - I am now gonna start wearing some MC hammer pants just to mix it up man....just imagining myself holding a 10 pounder in my brightly colored MC hammer pants that would be da bomb!!!

lol yea im just giving u a hard time over it i would probably wear it too

I could be wrong but I will go out on a limb and say that these are not the same fish - the sky is different in both photos and the color cast is different suggesting to me that you used a different camera or the more overcast day the camera used a different white balance perhaps - or I am totally wrong

B looks fatter

  so whats the answer??

Already answered above.  Same fish.  One from the back, one from the front.

hahaha - my thesis was blown
