Okay. >> Yeah, we're not going. >> All right, ma'am. >> Hey, man. You mind putting them triggers in there for me. >> So, if y'all don't have this app, I would definitely recommend it. Us and Noah both put it out. And I've used it in Louisiana. >> I don't get whatever it is. >> Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, all those states. I know it works. But so this is what it's called. Fish rules. They have it. You can search all the pictures of the fish. Like see I just looked up trigger but you look on gray trigger fish. It says closed and >> is that what that is? >> Yeah. It goes off your GPS location. So that's I've used it in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida. I work in more states, but >> it says what does that say? 15 inches. >> Yep. They got in. Did y'all measure those at all? >> I don't know. I think they're they're right about that big. >> Yeah, they're they look like off my eye. And then see you got state and federal.

But yeah, just get >> one per boat or one per person. >> One per person. So but that's what it looks like. >> Okay. >> But download that. >> Yeah. Fish rules. >> Yep. >> Okay. We can do that. >> We got You just got to I mean, if you download it, plug it in before you go out, like sync it and it'll work offshore just to fit. Yeah. So, just sync it to where you're going to go out of and as long as you're not going over state lines or whatever, you should m out. So, it's only good for 9 miles. So, >> no, no, it's good past 9 miles. >> If you sync it, like say you're pulling out for your loose sale service, it'll pick up where you're putting in at. So you can still use the app without >> without it holds the information is what you're telling. >> It holds the information. So >> it's not like you can't click on it and then it's not going to show you anything. So you can see what's >> what's open. That's your registration. >> So have y'all >> So wrote you for the out of season and for the >> No problem. Um >> and I also wrote you for the out of season. Okay.
