The best thing to do is use a Boga Grip or a Lock&Weigh. Use the lip-grabber while the fish is in the water, lift it clear and get the weight from the built in scale. The fish is out of the water for less than 10 secs.

Pictures. If you're by yourself you manage as best you can, but if you're with someone else they can ready the camera while you're playing the fish and snap a shot as it's hanging off the Boga.

You don't want to leave a big fish hanging on end like that for too long, because the internal organs aren't supported and they can suffer damage. Probably not as big a deal with a teen fish.
