That dock is in the Crescent. same size boards as all the others. Even when 23SF knows the rule, he still can’t apply it. How does he screw up a 20" measurement? 23 is a real contributor about how to fish illegally–sad sad–good thing he does not have an important job

I am not going to comment on the size of the fish, but I can say with 97.8% Certainty that the boards on the dock are indeed 2x6 (1 1/2 x 5 1/2) inches. See evidence below…
Also, if this illustration is used in a court of law, I would like it to be referred to as “exhibit Sailfish 23”
In the photo, there is one reference point that provides a known value. The block of wood in the blue circle has a thickness of 1 1/2 inches. This known value will be referred to as “n”. This is the standard thickness of 2x lumber (with the exception of 5/4 deck boards, which would make the fish smaller). That thickness was used in the red circle to show that the boards are slightly less than 4 “n” wide. 4 x 1.5 = 6 inches. Knowing that the standard 2x6 is 5 1/2 inches wide, its safe to say that the boards are 2x6 lumber. (the scale in the red circle can be referred to as the “pigskin scale” for obvious reasons.)
little too much CSI watching for some folks here.

Don’t watch CSI (horrible acting & writing).
I like to call it Math.
bottom fish measures 15 1/2 " if wood is 2x6.
The fish is curled a little and the tail can be pinched so I would give it as much as 16.5" if the boards are 2x6…if the boards are 2x8 then the fish would be about 22.5"
Actually, if the boards are 2x8…then that is one stud trigger…it would also measure about 22"

I’ll be nice because you are new here…but 1st, can you clarify “no harm done”?
And 2nd…what do you think is the motivation to post reports? Is it… A) to help other fishermen by sharing information about your day in hopes that someone who reads your post then returns the favor one day and shares their gathered information with you? or B) To brag to a bunch of facelss internet screennames?
oh brother
Someone post a pic of 23’s man-tits and Greg1"s bald head and this thing will die.
Tell you what…I am going to kill a Sailfish this weekend and drag him off the transom of the boat to ensure I don’t mishandle it…Anyone know if you’re supposed to steak it or fillet it? I’ll be sure to post the pics for all to see…Let’s see 63 inches from lower jaw to fork does this sound right? Oh! who gives a crap it’s Sailfish for dinner…Tastes just like Swordfish as I remember.
Don’t just say you’re going do this. Really do it.

Q. 3. May I catch and release HMS?
NMFS encourages catch and release of
Atlantic HMS, and the use of circle hooks to
maximize post-release survival. A fish that is
not retained must be released in a manner that
will maximize its survival, and without
removing it from the water.
This is not written into “the law”. It is merely a tidbit from the “I don’t know my @ss from a hole in the hull” Q and A section. You will not find one single court case where a fisherman was found guilty and fined for improper handling of a legal billfish that was released.

Your kidding, right?
the real tragedy here is that that triggerfish has obviously blown out his o-ring all over that dock. Maybe you coule use that triggerfish donut as a scale ‘howmuch’ since you’re probably really familiar with that dimension…
