I use a digital kitchen scale also. I had a problem with the fish moving & flopping around. I bought a plastic pitcher that is about 14 inches tall. I put the pitcher on the scale, hot a button to zero the scale with the pitcher on it then drop the fish into the pitcher. Works like a charm.
I take my readings in LBS and OZ then use a spreadsheet to convert and calculate my relative weight.
I have taken it one step further - generating charts. You can see my charts at
