A Boca is one of Roland Martin's favorite toys, because it lips the fish and
weighs it at the same time. Very accurate to a 1/4 of a pound once
calibrated, and because of that fact, can be certified.
It is a BOGA Grip (
http://www.bogagrips.com) and yes they can be certified per IGFA standards.
However, to submit a catch and release record, the fish still has to be weighed on shore. The IGFA
will NOT accept weights taken while in a boat. It seems that the movement of the boat could cause
erroneous readings on the scale. Any fish that is submitted must be taken out of the boat and the
weigher must be standing on good ol' Terra Firma.
