What I do is weigh the fish in the net. I have a detachable handle so all I do is net the fish take the handle off and weigh the net and fish together. The net weighs less than a pound. I know some guys weigh the fish by the lip/jaw but this will cause internal injuries. The fish is then gently removed from the net and held horizontally for a quick picture, revived at boatside and released. I like to see those big girls go back but you never know if that fish was gut hooked and bleeding, I would have put it the box too. Absolute fish of a lifetime, congrats!
