[quote Tarponjim]Digital scales are highly inaccurate in my tests, and I've tested many. Terrible in many cases. Buy a Chatillion spring scale. Or, like Don said, at least a boga or something manual. Hanging fish from a Boga is BAD NEWS for a fish larger than 6 or 8 pounds though if you want to release them.[/quote]
Very true about suspending large fish by the gills or head for any reason! If you need to weigh a fish as sometimes may be the case, hook the scale to your rubber release net and weigh the fish in the net. You can weigh the empty net after the fish is released for a true weight of the fish.
