I have a stick on tape measure attached to my paddle shaft that I got at Bass Pro, but many places carry them. Some of them are even marked for salt water fish types. I use a Boga type gripper to grab Halibut up to about 30" but would not recommend them for anything bigger unless it being kept for sure. You can also assist the Boga by wrapping your thumb and forefinger around the base of the tail for measuring. It can be a little tricky timing the insert of the Boga, and the fish will not help you at all, so make sure you steer clear of the leader. It usually takes me 3 or 4 tries to get it inserted properly.
