Fisherman's pliers having pivotally connected members, each member having a handle portion and a jaw portion. A first handle incorporates a weight measuring apparatus partially housed within a longitudinal axial bore defined therein. The weight measuring apparatus preferably includes an elongate rigid plunger having weight indicating indicia thereon, a compressible spring, and a clasp. Attachment of a mass, such as a fish, causes compression of spring such that the weight of the fish is indicated. In an electronic embodiment, the weight measuring apparatus may further include electronic means for digitally displaying the recorded weight. A second handle includes a length measuring apparatus housed within a longitudinal axial bore defined therein. In a preferred embodiment, the length measuring apparatus comprises a telescopically extendable and retractable length-measuring device having length-indicating indicia thereon. In an electronic embodiment, the weight measuring apparatus may further include electronic means for digitally displaying the measured length. Furthermore, an electronic embodiment preferably includes electronic data storage means for storing data, such as length, weight, time, day, catch number and/or location.
