FYI. DO NOT USE BOGA GRIPS ON SALMONIDS.

These things are great for salt water fish with heavy jaw structures, but they trash the jaws on salmon and steelhead.

Lot's of guys use catch and release cradles for muskies in the Midwest. Very minimal handling to the fish, and no need to bust their backs by ripping them out of the water by their tails or under the gill rakers. They may be worth a try in a drift boat, but not practical at all for hike in fishing.
