To weigh the fish, go get one of the bags that they use to bring fish to the weigh-in at the fish tournaments. Put some water in it and get a weight. Toss in fish and weigh the whole mess. Less stress on the fish that way.

Or bag and water and fish. Weigh. Remove fish, letting water drip off into bag. Release fish, weigh water and bag. Do the math. wink

Oh, congrats on the great fish!!!
