I once read a short story where a fellow had a fish scale in his tackle box . His buddy,s kid caught a nice bass and was thrilled that his big bass had to weigh at least 5-6 lbs. his buddy borrowed the scale & when they weighed it it was about 3 1/2 lbs and the Kid was crushed . The story teller stated that he dropped the scale over the side and hasn't weighed a fish since, saying if a man thinks he caught and is thrilled with a 5 lb bass I don't care if it's 8" long I'm happy for him.. Though I have one I regard chronographs the same way.
