I have a boga-grip but they don't reach that far. They are good (and expensive) but I use from a boat and in the surf for fish that are arms-length away.
You could use (or make) a nice jetty gaff from a surf rod blank for fishing from high places. Use a small gaff hook when you make it. Bass have some soft thin tissue under their lower jaw that you can easily and gently hook thru. Once attached, you have strong position to lift her up out of the water. The nice thing is you don't hurt the fish except for a small hole in the skin under the jaw. You can even release them without too much harm. Keep in mind you have to be carfull with a gaff, you poke it in the gut or gill and the fish will probably die.
