I call that fish between a pound and a half and two pounds.

[greg j]

That’s gotta be at least 3lbs..

nice hat

Carter, what happened to your friend Borat?

[Zach Matthews]

Phil’s hat is modest.

[Phil Landry]

Thanks on the hat props… the best thing about wearing it (besides it ability to provide shade) is the comments you get from others on the water.

[Zach Matthews]

I just laughed out loud.

I’m not a weight calculator by trade but I think you can see two pounds pudging out around your fingers.

some people like to talk about fat fish having “shoulders” but I think that ones got arms too.

[Zach Matthews]

Dave –

Now that’s a number I can get behind.

[Phil Landry]

I didn’t think that fish was five…. thats why I took the under and parlayed my tip into a bigger one so to speak.

That would be girth squared times length divide by 800.  So for a 21″ fish with a 10″ girth the formula would be; (10 x 10)21 / 800 or 2.63 lbs.

I had a great weight calculator at one time, but I can’t find it now.

[Zach Matthews]

Hahaha, what a throwback that is.

Is there a formula like that for smallmouth? Seems like it would be different than for trout. I didn’t even actually weigh this one and I know people regularly catch much bigger ones than this. From the butt of the rod to the top of the cork is about 11″. Anyway, just curious if I could calculate weight in the future based on measurements (roughly).

For bass (works ok for trout):

log(weight, in grams) = -4.83 + 1.923 x log(total length, in mm) + 1.157 x log(girth, in mm)

[brian dunigan]

log(weight, in grams) = -4.83 + 1.923 x log(total length, in mm) + 1.157 x log(girth, in mm)

Not complicated enough.  Try this:
