Great catch.
I would call that 30 inches as the tail is not pinched completely.

Thanks everybody! Yes CK is right. I did do a proper measurement with the lips bumping the board and the tail pinched. It came out to 28 1/2! I stretched out every inch I could lol The walleye would not stay completely still for the pic!!
