SD, before you spend the BIG $$$ on the BOGA(nothing against it), try the fish gripper from Cabelas!!
I think you would be pleasantly surprised??
its all high strength plastic, except for stainless hinge pins.
it floats and is a bright neon orange, so you won't leave it anywhere.
the best thing is its only 9.99!!!
It doesn't have a scale and might not hold a huge fish(i think it would)but for the money, its pretty hard to beat??
it also has a wrist lanyard on it.
For the money, I don't see how you can go wrong???
