ABSTRACT:
A combination fish landing net, weight scale, and length scale for use by fishermen to obtain accurate fresh weight and length measurements of a captured fish immediately after netting. A flexible mesh net is secured upon a generally circular, tubular hoop. A rigid plug secured in the interior of the hoop by a pair of screws may be removed to permit removal and replacement of a damaged net. The compressed hoop ends are secured by a rigid rivet to one end of an expansible, steel spring and fitted in coaxial relation into the interior of a rigid, phosphorescent, plastic tube. The spring is secured within the tube by a rigid pin. A pair of parallel rectangular clearance slots are cut in opposite sides of the tube. The tube is coaxially, telescopingly fitted within a rigid, elongated, tubular handle of a highly contrasting color. A rigid steel fastener passes through the handle between the clearance slots of the tube to capture the opposite end of the spring. The device can thus be assembled without tensioning of the spring. Downward movement of the highly visible intermediate tube within the handle in response to the weight of a netted fish is visible through a pair of parallel, elongated, rectangular windows on the face of the handle. Length may be measured by numerical weight scale calibrations legible on the surface of the handle between the windows. When the device is correctly assembled, the hoop rests in coplanar alignment with the rivet, the pin, the fastener, and the windows. A length scale is provided on the rear face of the handle to permit the fisherman to obtain an accurate length measurement without having to remove the fish from the net.
