storing bugs and fish by size

[Tiffany]

I, like many of you, try to plan ahead for the tourneys(I know sometimes the fishing ones are impossible to do that with) I catch tons of stuff beforehand and store it in my house. I keep reading on here that people store them by size but how?
I mean I know it tells you the size when you catch it but once you have a bag full you can't tell which is which. I am assuming I am missing something obvious here(not an unusual occurrence for me) so can someone please clue me in?
Thanks

I just out a seashell or something in the middle-ish. Then I sort the fish that are above certain size on one side, below on other. Then I sort those biggest to smallest.

I often separate my fish in my bag. I always note the size first and write it on a piece of paper and then immediately move it towards the end of my bag and order it by size. So the biggest fish would be on the last space of my invo and the size would decrease as I go up the line.

If there is a fish that doesn't make the cut, I keep it closer to my tools as a note to sell them later. I always keep at least a space between the fish I am keeping for size and the ones that are to be sold.

When it comes to saving up fish for the "any kind" fishing tourneys, I prefer not to have doubles of fish. It makes it less confusing.
