Don't bother with the 27" rope.
if it is that small, just haul it in, and do a quick measure....

I took some 400lb leader, 300lb snap on one end, bright red 3-4 inch poly ball on the other end (some water injected inside the ball for some weight to stretch it out)
Measures 73 long
Given the hook should be in the corner of the mouth, so there is length to spare before sinking the harpoon.
As mentioned, slide it down the line for the measurement, should cutting the leader and not getting the hook back possible, the small polly ball should keep this thing afloat to get it back.
27-59 should not be a problem controlling for the boat side measurement.

Ron (anyone), not sure this works on a squid bar?
Should I be so lucky to have on bite..... |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

You'll need two, one to measure fish on a bar and the other for fish on a single lure. For the bar just add in the distance from the bar to the hook. |

Don't forget that the measurements for Atlantic tuna is curved fork length, not just fork length. A fish that's not legal to keep on a standard fork length measurement may be legal if measured correctly.
Definitely makes measuring them a pain, however. We measured a 69" fish on Sat during the revival process the old-fashioned way with a tape. It wasn't easy, but it worked...
