  • a carrying case having two, cavity-defining parts hingedly interconnected to facilitate pivotation of the parts relative to each other from a first, closed position, in which the case is closed, to a second, open position in which a first of said parts extends substantially normal to the second of said parts after pivoting through an angle of about 90°

    from said closed position;

    a fish weighing and measuring subassembly mounted in said first part, and including;

    a scalar measuring grid for measuring and visually portraying the length of a fish; and

    means for weighing a fish comprising;

    a weighing peg for suspending a fish against said grid in a position to be measured thereby while supporting the weight of said fish; and

    means for reacting to the weight of a fish suspended on said peg to visually and digitally portray the weight of said fish adjacent said scalar grid; and

    a camera mounted in said second part and positionable by limited movement without detachment from said second part for photographing said scalar grid, a fish suspended on said weighing peg, and the visually and digitally portrayed weight of said fish at the time whem said case parts are in said second, open position.
