Okay... you get to answer a nagging question for me (someone asked me and now I am asking here)...
You are the "man" at the bumpboard... An angler hands you a sack of fish and one looks close so you measure it and it is (with a pinched tail) on your "Judge" a teensie bit short... so the angler asks you to flip it over... you do and now its a teensie bit over...
Is it a legal fish? So that for "legal" fish you measure the long side? What about a "slot"... do you count the long or short side or do you count the "short" side at the short end of the slot and the long side on the long end of the slot... In other words do you adopt a rule interpretation that says legal on any side is legal or do you adopt a rule that says ... illegal on any side is illegal... or something else... measuring "long" side always... What should the rule be?
