Have seen those myself Chuck on TV, and such is used though much larger in PTTS events http://www.tarponanglersclub.com/ (talk about fishing in a crowd for Boca Grande is a parking lot!) problem is, you can't weight one very quickly that way (for the average guy) and that is where the damage is being done to these larger fish like Snook.
I have also seen and looking into landing nets that have built in scales Only problem I see with such a device (other than Salt Water use), is the fact that the fish may loose some of its slime coat in the process. This pending of course the material that the actual "net" is made from AND finding one that folds up so it is not taking up a lot of deck space when not in use. Having all these features though, looks like a very tall order to fill for so far, I seem to only find one or two such features but not one all in one net...
