Tournament Photo Kit for Utah Lake (Bump Board, Scale, Gloves + Phone Mount)
A simple tournament / bragging-rights photo kit for Utah Lake fishing: a bump board or tape, a reliable scale, fish-friendly gloves, and a phone mount — with Amazon affiliate links.
The 60-second checklist
- Measure: bump board or tape
- Weigh: digital hanging scale (and a weigh sling if needed)
- Handle: wet hands / gloves + pliers ready
- Shoot: phone mount or tripod so you’re not begging strangers
Photo quality tips (fast)
- Pre-open your camera app before you unhook the fish.
- Keep the fish low over the water / grass (not rocks).
- One clean photo beats five shaky ones.
Measure (bump board / tape)
Weigh (scale)
- Digital hanging fish scale (reliable mid-range)
- Grip / lip gripper with scale (convenient; not for heavy fish)
Handle (gloves + pliers)
Shoot (phone mount)
- Phone tripod (bank photos / self-timer)
- Clamp phone mount (cooler / boat rail / chair)
- Waterproof phone pouch (cheap insurance)
If you’re fishing from the bank, you’ll also want a simple shore essentials kit and a cooler + ice plan (especially in heat).
