Best waiting until they change the rules to a length based system with an accompanying photo

Well i was reading their 2013 specimen publication a while ago and kind of skimmed through the photographic evidence thing, but from what i could gather on that is the length based system will only be used on endangered species or something similar to that? Plus you can never get a record weighing fish without having scales. :shock: :wink:
