I just bought a 60lb boga and I promise not to cry about it. Up until this year the 30lb boga has been all I needed. But as good luck and paying attention have paid off, PB after PB this year I want to know what the weight of the fish are. Is it 35 or 37? the 30lb boga is priceless when it comes to handling schoolies or large fish. Anyone who has taken a swallowed beachmaster out of a cows mouth knows it could get dicey without the proper tools. That being said I will not figit with a digital scale in the surf or anywhere else for that matter. The boga is built to lip the fish and weigh it with ease ensuring a quick release. I will never take a might be PB to weigh it at home because I did not have the right tool. Even a digital scale, a 40 pounder wiggles falls off and smaks down on the rocks, you might as well keep it at that point. Catch and quick release is the name of the game to preserve , respect and enjoy the fish. The way I see it go about your business quickly when it comes to catch and release and any other tool besides the boga is subpar.
