I've got a berkley 50# digital scale and I can weigh a fish and release it a lot quicker than getting a length and girth measurement. I question how that is a quicker method and I certainly don't think it's better for the fish. You would need to lay the fish down on the sand to get the measurements, which removes slim coat and might lead to infection death down the road.

When I'm out my scale is easy to get at and a fish can be weighed & released in about 30-60 seconds, like to see someone get those required measurements in the same amount of time. Personally, I don't care and only weigh the fish when I think they are over 30 lbs.

Tight lines.
