Boca grip or other grips - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've got a fish grip, it floats yea but it's almost impossible to get into the mouth of a fish that decides to clamp shut. I'd never pay $150 for a Boca. I do have a Berkley Lip Grip though and for under $25 it's never let me down. I prefer the Lip Grip over the floaty fish grip.

I've been using the same berkley lip gripper for over 7 years, so it holds up well. However, I've been eyeing a real boga grip for sometime now. There are a bunch of variations of it out there, but hard to beat a gripper with an IGFA scale built in. If anyone wants to part with their 15 or 30, shoot me a PM.
