Nice fish. I don't usually carry a tape measure with me. I do know that my reel seat is 3 inches long, my grip is 7 inches long, and the wrap that ends just before the hook holder is 2 inches long. So I've got a built in ruler on my rod. I try to take pictures with the fish lying next to the rod when I take them and can get a good estimate of the fish's size when I upload them when I get home.
