Vintage fish measuring board

[monte300]

Years ago I had what I think was called a Wil-e-go fish measuring board. It was plastic and concaved to accommodate the curve of the fish. I’m pretty sure these are no longer made. Does anyone remember these and know where I might be able to purchase one? I lost the only one I had years ago. Thanks in advance.

The DFW uses a flat board to measure fish, besides the nostalgia why would you want a concave board?

I’m not a tournament fisherman and I always liked the ease of using the belly board

I didnt think ya needed to be a tourney fisherman to be in compliance with the DFW. The issue with the belly board is you measure a fish that is 13 on a belly board he will be short on a flat board.

They are being manufactured again

Under what name? I certainly can’t find new one’s

I like it because it protects the fish from touching carpet. Besides, most tournaments measure 13” minimum so the DFG 12” minimum is a none issue…. Unless you fish slot limit lakes - I rarely do

Used to be the Tournament norm !! I saw some at Valley Rod & Gun in Fresno a couple weeks ago.

Not a belly board but is an old West Coast Bass flat cull board.

A generous basser from Clovis shipped me one for free. Can never have too many bassin friends just made another one. Thanks for the heads up at Valley!
