## What is Fishing Scale?

- Tells you the estimated weight of your fish based on the length.
- Simply select the type of fish you caught, select the length, and it will tell you the estimated weight.
- If doing catch and release, this allows you to know the weights without hanging a fish by its jaw, and without over handling the fish, as that can kill the fish even if you see it swim away. 
- If cleaning and eating the fish, feel free to just weigh it  :-)
