What it is
A 60cm padded measuring mat with printed graduations, made to lay a fish on for measuring and photographing before release.
Why we picked it
It settles the argument about how big it really was, which is most of what fishing conversation consists of. The padding is the serious half: it is the difference between measuring a fish and damaging one you intend to put back.
