We got a fish today, once we got it to the surface it looked in the 60 inch class.
After boating it realized it was bigger @ 72
Make up a line attached to a big snap, make the line 73 inches long including a bright red piece of rag on the end. When you get the fish close to the boat clip the line to the fishing line and let it go. It will stream from the hook and tell you whether the fish is too big or not. No need for an actual measurement, you just need to know if its too big.
