Berkley makes a nice rugged catfishermans scale that goes to 100lb, most stores in your area including Bass Pro sell them for a little over $100, but you can do much better at catfishconnection.com -- like 30/40 bucks better.

I bought some digital ones at bass pro here for around 45.00. They only go to 75lbs though. Them seem pretty accurate though. You can see them in the on line tourney submission of mine. I can put a 2 oz weight on them and they read 2 oz and the same with a 3oz weight. I can put a 100lb flathead on them and only get 40 lbs though.  |

I have a digital from a company called Jscales. It is fairly accurate and very easy to read. Only ran about $40 for the 110lb model. Downside is that it is a little small and it gets a bit difficult to handle big fish with it. I weigh the big fish in the net anyways.

Aw this channel cat is growing I believe. You must have him in a hold tank. Last time I thought it was just 82lbs. Maybe its a hybrid....lol. Hey you look at my flathead submission and tell me that fish isnt a 100 kilos. |

Hey you look at my flathead submission and tell me that fish isnt a 100 kilos. 100 kilos ! You go down to the Amazon to hook that monster. Just don't let you know who see it. I would then have to protest loudly and my 82# channel would really have to count. Missed it this past weekend again!  |
