excelllent fish!!! lovely size!! well done!!!!!! I measure from tail to head, I do like to weight them as well (in a bag or sack) but the scales I have at present are crap but it gives me an idea if they are feeding well in certain areas

Thanks for all the comments. Yes i like to weigh them as well. I carry 2 sets of digital scales, a small pocket set and a berkeley lip grip. They are pricey but a really good job.

Get a Berkley Tec scales lads. They have 35lb and 100lb versions. Both weigh in 1oz increments. They are made for the catch and release Bass Tournaments in the US, so have to be very accurate. I've managed to certify the 100lb version for the last 3 years.

No, fished a 2 hook flapper with peeler on one hook and plain lug on the other. It took the plain lug.
