1. A device for measuring the length of a fish that is attached to a fish holder, the device comprising:

  • a base including a first section that is oriented in a mostly horizontal plane, a downward-facing surface of the base being the zero mark for measuring the fish;

    a foldable measuring tape having distance indicators along the length of said tape, a first end of said tape being attached to the base; and

    an opening that penetrates completely through the first section of the base such that the fish holder can be inserted into the opening while the fish is attached to the fish holder, so that gravity causes the foldable measuring tape and the fish to hang in the same downward direction.
