Home Made "Hawg Troughs" want to share???

Just made a gaff out of a chuck of drift wood and a large bolt grounded down and a bit of Gorilla glue...and thinking of building a trough... any idea's would be greatly appreciated..got a few ideas from "Da' Cove" recent post....


Thanks guys....

I made one out of plexi. I just heated up a part about 4 inch from the end and bent it against a block of wood (to make the 90 degree bend). The I used one of the free DFG ruler stickers. I'll try and get a pic up this weekend.

thx Eric, Dom was saying he used 6" sewer pipe, I was just looking @ some we have at work...its only 4.5" and its black...maybe...

I would definitely like to see pics if u could...thx again........

Domenics Hawg troughs is a monster used for measuring monster fish.

Here ya go. I just had the plex scrap lying around so thats that I used. I guess you could use some 1x3" lumber (which would make it float) or old rwd fencing material. I also wanted it to me compact yet able to measure fish of 24" so I made an extension that folds under. The pipe idea is nice 'cus my version is flat and the 'trough' aspect is nice to have.

Hey Sledge here are some quick pics of the gurney.

jeez 48" that is wolf eel worthy!

You KNOW he wants a bigger halibut!     (who wouldn't!)

Thanks Dom, Mendohead, EWB, Z...and I'm sure more home made "Hawg Troughs" that will post...

Now I've got many ideas that I can try...I'll let everyone know how they turn out...I'm gona make one of each... "gifts" for fellow fishermen...NCKA rules...
