Abstract
A fish measuring board has an elongated board with an upper surface with a trough to receive a fish. A stopper at one end of the board closes the trough and abuts to the fish. A scale is carried by the board and extends from the stopper to measure a length of the fish. A hollow in the board is substantially sealed and provides buoyancy to the board. A track in the bottom of the board can receive and attach an accessory.
Claims18
A fish measuring board, comprising:
- an elongated extrusion forming an elongated board with a trough configured to receive a fish and an elongated hollow;
- a proximal end plate closing an open proximal end of the elongated extrusion and having a tab extending beyond the extrusion to form a stopper configured to abut to the fish;
- a distal end plate closing an open distal end of the elongated extrusion;
- a scale carried by the board and extending from the stopper configured to measure a length of the fish;
- and
- the hollow being substantially sealed and configured to provide buoyancy to the board.

A fish measuring board, comprising:
- an elongated board having an upper surface with a trough configured to receive a fish;
- an elongated extrusion forming the board and having a cross-sectional profile with a concave top, a bottom spaced-apart from the top, opposite sides extending between the top and the bottom, and an elongated hollow;
- the elongated extrusion having a cross-sectional profile with a continuous perimeter completely circumscribing the hollow;
- a stopper at a proximal end of the extrusion and closing the trough and configured to abut to the fish when in the trough;
- a scale carried by the board and extending from the stopper configured to measure a length of the fish;
- a proximal end plate closing the proximal end of the extrusion and having a tab extending beyond the extrusion to form the stopper;
- a distal end plate closing a distal end of the extrusion;
- the hollow in the board being substantially sealed by the proximal and distal end plates and configured to provide buoyancy to the board;
- an elongated T-channel formed in the bottom of the extrusion configured to receive and couple an accessory;
- and
- at least one of the proximal and distal end plates having a notch corresponding to the T-channel and defining an open end of the T-channel.
