Fish net with length measuring scale

A fish net, comprising:

• a. a frame;
• b. a net, attached to the frame, having a bottom and a top;
• and
• c. a length measuring scale, permanently disposed generally linearly on a surface of the net, including length markings, representing standard units of length, and numeral designations associated with the length markings, the length markings including a zero point near the bottom;
• with two coordinated scales sharing the zero point and extending in opposing directions therefrom to the top of the net whereby a user may visually determine a length of the fish by substantially aligning the fish with the length scale, and adding the numeral designations which are approximately aligned with opposing ends of the fish.

A fish net, comprising:

• a. a frame having:
• i. a handle;
• and
• ii. a substantially closed loop portion, having opposite sides, attached to the handle;
• b. a net, attached to the loop portion, having a bottom and a top;
• and
• c. a length measuring scale, having length markings with numeral designations representing units of length, disposed generally linearly on the net and extending from one side of the loop portion to an opposing side thereof, the length markings including a zero point near the bottom, with two coordinated scales sharing the zero point and extending in opposing directions therefrom to the top of the net, the net forming a pocket into which a fish naturally tends to rest in substantial linear alignment with the measuring scale, such that a user may determine a size of the fish held in the net by visually comparing the fish with the numeral designations on the length measuring scale and adding the numeral designations which are approximately aligned with opposing ends of the fish.

A method of measuring a size of a fish, comprising the steps of:

• a. placing a fish within a fish net having a frame and a net having a top and a bottom, and a length measuring scale disposed on the net, the length measuring scale including a zero point approximately at a bottom of the net, and two coordinated scales with numeral designations sharing the zero point and extending in opposing linear directions therefrom to the top of the net;
• b. aligning the fish with respect to the length measuring scale;
• and
• c. visually comparing the fish to the length measuring scale by adding the numeral designations which are approximately aligned with opposing ends of the fish, so as to determine a size of the fish.
