Weight really does not mean much other than bragging. Those high dollar pinchers would be worth something if they had a tape measure built into the top of the handle. Never fished a tournament around here that went by weight.
Nothing wrong with a little bragging. If I'm ever lucky enough to catch a fish larger than 30 lbs, I'd like to know how much it actually weighs. When Brett caught one of his monsters on my boat, it bottomed out the 30 lb Boga I have. I'd really like to know exactly how much over 30 it was.
