Fish Chris Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 you guys know how I'm always preaching about "always being ready", right ? You know like, carrying 3 scales, 4 cameras, always having a livewell ready (even if its just a large icebox, in your small aluminum) a stringer rope, tightly packable rain gear, etc. Okay... So I stuck that nice one yesterday, got her in the livewell, and started looking for my scale..... Doh ! I left it in my Winter bag (Striper / Sturgeon bag) ! Well, thank God I carry my Salter scale in my Pelican camera case :-)(along with a spare 9 volt battery) As it wouldn't matter if that fish was 15 freaking lbs, without an actual weighing, I would never know "what she really weighed", nor could I add it to my list of DD's {IMPO, if you don't actual know the weight, it's better not to even mention it.... than to have to tell the story with an asterik beside it} This little waterproof, floatable, shock proof, impact resistent Pelican case is as important to me on my fishing trips, as is my tackle bag. The best fishing of the year is just about to begin ! My best advice is to set down and make a check list of everything you are going to need to catch, handle, photo, weigh, and release the "biggest bass of your life" !!! And make sure you have every item checked before you go on that first trip ! BTW, back up cameras and scales are always a good thing.... even if the back up is just a disposable 35mm, and the scale is a decent little spring type..... Just too cheap not to carry. Always be ready ! Then you won't have to put any asteriks beside your big fish story :-) Peace, Fish Quote
