I was thinking of using a machete on those pesky bluefish in the kayak.
Not much fun when they are flopping around inside and all I'm wearing is my grape smugglers.

Save your money and get a 50 pound rapala scale.Boga makes a great product that I think are IGFA eligable. For the sole purpose of controlling a fish yakside the 50 is perfect and the scale is pretty accurate.I sold my 30 boga last year because I really don't care what a fish under 30 weighs,if a fish bottoms out a 50;picture time.If the choice is limited to boga,60.

Get yourself the Cabelas brand boga... Im on my 3rd season with it.
50# scale, VERY accurate... *Very strong springs... once a fish is lipped, its is NOT slipping off while thrashing around. * Lightweight * VERY corroision resistant... I wear it clipped to my belt ALWAYS... that means its underwater for hours at a time... looks and works like the day I bought it... and for under 30$ you cant beat it... and should you happen to lose it, youre only out 28 bucks... 24 when its on sale. I'll try to find a link. (*not listed on their site.. I'll take a pic of mine... also... STAY AWAY from the berkely lippers... the spring is so weak even a 5 pound blue slips right out... RAPALA also suck due to the way the lipper opens... very narrow gap....)

Ok we can get carried away, I have a feeling this is going to turn bad. 
According to the urban dictionary.
Grape Smugglers, very small speedo trunks which hug the bollocks of the male wearer in a manner which makes it seem that they are "smuggling grapes " between their legs.
Often seen on European, particularly French, males. |
May fortune favor the foolish....

He is thrilled to catch any fish.

He does get a few bass his way though. |

Here is another option a few guys on SOL where advocating as "better" than a boga. Not sure if they are still available (?RISSA). Made out of nylon and SS...appear solidly constructed. Much lighter and longer than a boga. The one without a scale is 9oz,
the one with a 55lb scale is 15oz. They have a larger grab than a boga, but are manually activated and don't snatch as quickly as a boga. I have not tried them yet.

Seriously I thought about wearing a cup.
As I have reached for blues, a few have jumped in landing right between the lads. Hooks and teeth so close to making me an opera star. |

For sea robins, I recommend the zebco de-liar. A Boga or the like won't fit in their mouth. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
