Thanks Rich and Steve,

I have one of those mail gloves and it works great for holding the fish
but I have a
bit of a physical disablity that causes me to twitch at times without
warning and
can make me stick my finger right into the fish's mouth, so I'm
thinking the boga grip
might be my best choce right now. As long as I can keep my fingers as
far away as possible from the fish's mouth the safer for me..... and
the fish.

Thanks again,
John

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!
