I don't think that's being picky tazzman, I had considered that myself...but I think it's the angle the pic was taken from. Thus my perception of his measurement could very likely also be skewed.
My bet is bowen here was very precise about lining the fish up, (presumably), particularly if he's going to post it's length in the title of his post.

This is why I said it "seems is the case in" the "picture". I'm hoping Bowen will clear that up for us.
What it really is though...Well...I'm trying to determine if he has something else to say, as it seems he just posts a pike minnow pic every couple weeks and doesn't say anything afterwards...these points I've made, are more for encouragement than anything else...
I mean if it's not pm's, then it's carp or perch...I wonder if he's fished nicomen slough lately...

perhaps this is a whole other fishery many of us don't even think about when trying to decide where to go on our days off...? there are other possibilities as well...
