mr.e.p.d Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I recently decided to purchase one of these mats to measure my catch in stead of the old fold out wooden ruler, thinking I was doing the right thing. Since its gone in fishing bag I've only caught undersized fish, and think I have jinxed myself. Think I might go back to the old trusty fold out ruler and see if I go back to landing keepers?

LungFai Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well if you bought the Brag Mat to "Brag" about your catches then the fishing gods were always going to shut you down. Having a Brag Mat will put an end to your stories where you go "I caught a fish and it was Thiiiiiiisssssss big" The second time you tell the story it will go "I caught a fish and it was Thhhhhiiiiiiissssssssss big" A Brag Mat puts correct facts into a story. "I caught a fish and it was 37cm big" Doesn't sound as good a story as the originals So toss out that cursed Brag Mat (just start calling it a Mat) and the Gods of Fishing will forgive you for trying to take the Bragging out of Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The official fishraider mats were called "Measure of Success" - a much better description shame we do not have them anymore:wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
