When the DFG measures your fish they will lay it flat on a board, literally push the fish up against a plate so that the mouth is closed and measure it. I've seen them use tape measures but even when they do they will lay the fish on top of the tape measure, close its mouth and measure it. I know how exciting it is to catch your first legal because I still remember mine but don't put yourself in a bad position.
If you have to measure it twice consider it to be short.
