While fishing this fall with Jeff H, we got into a slug of big fish in the 30 pound class. We both had 30 pound boga grips which were bottomed out by every fish. Our solution was to double up the bogas and combine the readings on the two scales. I was skeptical about the accuracy of this method until I weighed a fish which registered a dual reading of 22 and 18 pounds. I released the fish after measuring the length and girth. The fish was 45.5 inches long with a girth of 26.5 inches. The formula comes out to 39.94 pounds. I'd say thats good enough for government work.
