Picked up a scale and started weighing fish today. After an hour of fishing worms on a bobber, this is what we've got so far...

Bluegill - one 4", one 5", and a half dozen 7" not weighed. Two 8" weighed 0.4 pounds, one 0.35 pounds.

Channel Catfish - one 15" 1.08 pound

LMB - one 10.5" 0.63 pounds.

We caught several LMB the other day but didn't have a scale yet. We have never seen or caught a LMB larger than 16"



What is the best way to weigh the panfish?? The large hook on the digital fish scale seems like it might damage the gills.
