| I am working on filling out my toolkit for the boat, the aim is to have everything I need, and not much else.
So far I have a hook file, long needle nose pliers to remove hooks, Knipex to cut hooks, scissors for cutting line, a jaw spreader, a pair of gloves for handling fish
Am I missing anything? (not counting net, rod/reel/tackle)

| It's un-american not to carry duct tape. Also assuming you carry a spare prop the tools needed to change that out. |

You said a tool kit for the boat, that is probably why most answers are in regard to that. It seems you are actually looking for catch and release tools... |

^^^^^^^^
Note: Do NOT skimp out and buy cheap-o ones or ATV sized. Trust me on this. When those cables start burning up in the middle of the lake, it's not pretty! |
