I'm beginning to think that one of   (You need to Login or Register might be a reasonable option for landing those trophies. Any thoughts?

A BogaGrip is all I use in the Q.

I originally bought it for Steelhead and Salmon fishing on Lake Michigan tributaries. I carry it on a long loop of parachute cord around my neck...hangs down to below my waist...but I clip the Boga to my wader suspender strap to keep it out of the way as I fly fish. When I catch a fish I "grip" him...and then can let it swim in the current on the cord while I put my fly rod down...take the hook out...whatever.

They are awesome but make sure you buy an authentic Boga. Knockoffs from even reputable manufacturers (e.g. Rapala) aren't as good.  The key is the holding power of the grip. I've landed big fish (30+#) with my Boga and have never had one shake loose.

Plus, the Boga has a built in scale...kinda nice.

In the Q I keep it clipped to my tackle bag or thwart...until I need it to grip a monster waldo or laker ;D

If I wasn't a complete moron I would insert a picture here ....I'll work on it. (inserting a picture, that is; I don't have to work at being a moron).

Good Luck,
