I rarely weigh my fish, or even measure them for that matter( only when I know they are around 50" will I actualy measure them).. I have both items on board, but have a rule ( I release my fish) I dont weigh,measure AND photograph a fish, I pick one method , the pre posistioned, self timer on the camera is the quickest method( I usualy fish alone)... the camera is set on the console ready to take the picture with a quick push of a button... the tape is on the console, in front of the throttle ( and my glasses) if i feel the need to measure ... I've used the scale more on other peoples fish than my own...I usualy use scale to set my drags.. that's about it..

Bottom line is, it is just not that important to me, and in most instances.. the chore of measureing or weighing fish takes away from the actual time I want to fish...coupled with the extended time out of the water... it's not good for the fish either...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
