I know Scott. The law is the same irregardless of what shape the tail is in. Close the mouth and make it as long as possible. I've caught fish at Fork that had obviously had the tail cut. Wasn't in a T tho.
Fayette is 14" or under and 24" or over... And if you bring in something in the slot, over 14 or under 24 in a tourney or just get caught with one, you get a ticket from TP&W..
