How To Weigh Fish & Hold A Bass Properly (fishing tutorial) Best Scales of 2021

Today we show you how to weigh fish on a scale properly, how to hold a bass properly keeping good support of their tail if they are a larger fish and not tilting the fish in one hand which can cause longer term damage, as well as showcase the best 3 fishing scales in 2021 that we have found over the years for weighing fish and weighing Bass. When I first started getting interested in fishing it was after searching “how to hold a bass?” On KZbin and not being able to find much on the topic so I figured this video is overdue. Enjoy!

I really need to get a scale . I took a 25 year break from fishing and just got serious about it again at 34. Caught a good size this morning and wish I knew the weight

[@nelsonh.568]

Great video! I appreciate the comparison and the demonstration of each. Most of these channels just talk but don’t show, awesome job!

[@mirkatu3249]

Love that you emphasize caring for the fish as well as how to weigh. 🧡

[@richiemiller280]

Just got my first scale and it’s that same exact Walmart scale thank you for the guide on how to correctly use it 🙏

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Great video Westin and Devin. I have multiple scales and none of them are perfect. A fishing scale should be first and foremost, waterproof or resistant. If not I give them the side eye. Second is if you are a kayak fisherman they should float. I found a Kastking waterproof floating scale that didn’t last a year of use. So last quality I would look for in scale is durability. Lojo dropped that Googan scale in the water and it was toast. Piscifun makes a scale similar to the Rapala one you showed, cheaper and water resistant. It doesn’t float but like I said no scale is perfect

[@andrematthews8730]

Thank you. Nice to see another left handed fishermen.

[@terrywhitejr9574]

You need to watch a video like this for catfish. 😂

[@DefendJesusCrown73]

Even though dunking it. I still would get it back out there. I dunk sometimes between photo and weighing but or if the hook won't come out. I'm in and out quick

[@lumpiestofcoles3724]

There’s always that one hater that dislikes the video because they’re mad they didn’t think of the video idea first lmao but thanks for the informative vid bud we appreciate everything you do Westin 🤘

[@eddiebreelz4226]

Love my Googan scale.... my first time using it was my first time using the revolver and catching a top water fish all in first cast lol.....

[@nyang015]

Hmm googan scale looks pretty good. I like the plastic holder it's very useful and it doesn't damaging the fish mouth compare to the last one I hade one before it just cuts the fish mouth up way to much especially when the fish starts shaking.

[@drew4188]

do you not fish with hooks?

[@jefferycrackerjack1175]

I love how you show the proper way to hold a fish by the mouth (straight vertical with no tilt) and then at the end your girl holds the fish the exact way you said not to 😂😭

I needed this thanks so much this was so helpful

[@mikearg3529]

Man I thought you should have emphasized way way more about where the hook goes on the ozark trail aka the Walmart scale. Especially with how much you focused on the safety of the fish. Soooo many people post pics on all social media platforms with the hook in the wrong slot of the gills. And if you have it in the wrong slot and the fish shakes you need to worry more about the fish that you just killed then you losing your catch and not weighing it. Their gills are very sensitive and prone to damage with the hook style scale. Also a great tip for anyone who has just the hook style scale and not a grip scale, you can just connect a grip or clip or anything that will hold onto the fish's lip and then hook your scales hook to that.

[@The-boys-republic]

I did what you suggested and bought grippers to with my scale. Someone bought me a hook style scale as a gift so I went and bought grippers. I think that’s the best way to go.

Just bought the googan squad scale like 2 minutes ago now waiting for it to come in

Comment for "Billy"; no hook only scales without fish grips. ✌🏾

[@Chandleryourinstincts]

Love the videos mannn we need to go together

[@jimmycuzzo3678]

Does the googan scale weigh in pounds and ounces or just pounds. Like 2.5 pound or 2 pounds 8 ounces.

[@WestinSmith]

It shows ounces as well. So it would say 2 pounds 8 ounces

[@Tbowie13]

Those hook scales are junk. I refuse to use a hook, if they shake, you can drop them of injure their gills. Best to use a body bag or a grip...regardless of scale choice.

Why do you think that?

“You never want to hold the fish at an angle. I’m going to do it real fast.” This guy’s a clown. Also, “this is the one I just missed.” Really? How can you be sure. This guy loves to hear himself talk.

[@jeffgauthier6216]

Don't hold the bass like this... as she holds one that exact way at the end of the video lol
