Puter, I don't have the line with the built in weight scale in the store yet, but we do carry the "Measure Net" line. They are 'fish-friendly' and you can measure the length of the fish in the net so you don't have to handle the fish, they lose minmum slime because of the net material, so they can be released in good shape. Check them out here:

Removing a fish from the water isn't good for it.
I fish a lot of halibut here and what we've found is the very best thing is do not handle the fish at all unless you plan to kill it.
With halibut when you net them you break the slime coat and sometimes also split the fins and tail a fungus rot sets in and the fish is as good as dead. I use carbon steel hooks and I release the fish in the water next to the boat, if the hook is too deep to safely (For me as well as the fish) I just snip the line as close to the mouth as possible the hook will disolve in less than a week. To haul a fish out like you see on TV is a good way to kill them, you just don't see them die right away.
