precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think,
to enjoy, to love.

I would guess the first trout t around 19 inches and the second one around 20-21 inches.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
I think the first is 15, the second 16.
My guess: The first is 16.5 and the second 18 inches. Nice looking fish. Larry ---sagefisher---

The first - 12"
The second - 16"
I measured it against the length of the hemostats assuming they are about the same size as mine, if they are about 5" the top fish is 19"-20", I will go with Warren's guess on the second fish.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
I have huge hands and extremely long fingers... at 6'4" and just barely shy of 7' finger tip to finger tip my hands give a very good indication of maximum size with handheld fish. Assuming the holders have hands equal to mine... highly unlikely... The first fish maxs out at 15" and the second at 19".
By hand size, I'd say 15 for the first; 17-18 range for the second. I'm basing that on the "rule of thumb" that if an average man stretches his thumb and pinky apart as far as they will go, it measures about 9". On the first, it looks like that would reach from the nose to back of the dorsal fin, with maybe 2/3 that distance to remaining. On the second, it looks like a thumb-pinky span would to about the mid-point of the fish.
Hard to tell from a photo, though.
