I've got a question for you guys... I kept that fish which on a hundredths scale was 8.20 on ice to weigh it in. I submerged her in the ice. It took me about an hour and 15 minutes to get her weighed in. ( Included boat ride from south end of lake to heberts, loading and trailering to calcasieu point.) Do you think she lost an ounce or two? What is the best way to preserve a fish for optimal weighing weight if you don't have a live well? dump the ice out and put saltwater in chest?

keep it alive or atleast in water..
