Jaw clamp? How about a boga grip scale?

When fishing with a guide don't the guides usually use a cradle to land
fish safely?

I've tried cradles in the past, but I don't care for them. First of all,
they're next to impossible to use when fishing solo and secondly, a large
landing net works just as well.

When you have to lead a fish the entire length of it's body into a cradle,
the potential for hooks to grab on the netting are greatly increased.
There's little worse than having a hook stuck in the netting with 30 inches
of a 48 inch fish's body still outside the cradle!
