KETCH X Fish Measuring Board Red 26-Inch | Catch-Photo-Release Ruler

Overview

The KETCH X Fish Measuring Board is a purpose-built tool for anglers who participate in Catch-Photo-Release tournaments. Its bold red face and crisp engraved numbers help you read measurements quickly, even in challenging light or on a rocking deck. Made from extruded aluminum, the board is designed for durability and repeated use, while the contoured sides cradle larger fish to keep them in place for a photo-ready measure.

Designed for use on water, boat ramps, and pier edges, this 26 inch board balances a slim profile with sturdy construction, offering a dependable reference for length without sacrificing speed or ease during the sequence of cast, measure, and photograph.

Engraved numbers and markings are high contrast to stay legible after repeated handling.
