If your fishing on a catch and release pond or lake how are you supposed to get your fishes weight certified?  You can't  take him with you to a local tackle shop!  So, what are you supposed to do?  I'm sure someone has the answer to this.

Squid, Chris, Jt????  Anyone??

rangers maybe? ???

Call or email your State's DNR. They should have the answere for you.  You  might even check their website.

Rangers...good idea! I'll ask them next time i see them.  Thanx guys!

Tuck it under your coat and run like heck. Or just Call a Game Warden and explain to them that you might have just caught a new record fish in a catch and release pond and wanted to verify it before releasing it.

get your scale certified before you fish the lake.

I'm not familiar with catch-and-release ponds and lakes. There's just one small pond around here that's C&R that I'm aware of. I'd be curious if, technically speaking, it's even legal to weigh the fish. Is it possible that on these waters it must be unhooked and released immediately?
