fish scale recommendations?

If you don't use a scale then don't answer the question!

 

Bingo!!!

If you have a cheap scale and wonder about it's accuracy, you can always test it with a gallon milk jug full of water...it should weigh about 8 lbs....8.35 to be exact.

 

A onion or potato bag is helpful for fish you intend to release.

 

 

How much would it weigh if it was still full of milk?

I picked up the 30 lb version of one of these probably over 20 years ago when I lived on Lake Ontario for the derbies, still as accurate as ever, you can guessimate to 2 oz on the scale, never any surprise when I got to an official weigh in.

I think your scale is broken Billy Bob... I just weighed a gallon of our water and it was 10 lbs !

Now it's all coming together.....Must be full of heavy metals...

 

Or next time use a US gallon... after all everyone here on this thread is using pounds not kilograms...
