1) I have never done this - personally dont think its right if fish is to be released
Recently was told on my last trip by some fellow guests (non-guided) that they were taking salmon inside the boat and weighing them on scale. They weighed one over 30 pounds....
I cant imagine this being a reasonable way to record a fish weight. I felt inclined to say something but was enjoying my trip and didnt need an argument.
Anyone have opinions on this, can it be done without harm? Maybe a scale that can cradle a fish and not hook hang?
