Is it better to use a boga grip when handling fish during the measuring and weigh-in process?
Yes and no. If used correctly, a boga grip can be a benefit. If the fish is held horizontally and supported at the belly, the boga grip can be helpful by reducing handling and gaining control over the fish to aid transport and measurement. Unfortunately, when using a boga grip the tendency is to hold the fish vertically and the fish may struggle too hard and break its jaw. If you choose to use a boga grip, we emphasize that you keep the fish horizontal and support its weight at the belly.
