Help with Weight (Fishes not mine)
Message:
How big do you think this fish is? BTW I am 5'11" and about 225lbs. This fish looked BIG in the water/boat. I was thinking it might have been my best of the season. I guessed it was 4lbs but I am notoriously bad a guessing. Especially fish I catch ; ) Usually the formula is take my guess and subtract 1.5 lbs.... Just ordered a digi scale so I will finally be able to see how far from 5lbs I really am. I usually carry a tailors ribbon tape measure thing so if I catch a big one I can at least measure it, didnt have it with me here though. Thanks!

I just ordered a new scale too! The rapala tourney model. Scored on ebay for less than $40 clams. Pictures are so hard to read, Even holding them. Still just a guessing game. I'm gonna say 3.5 to 4 pound range..... And I'm most likely wrong! So don't shoot me. :lol:

I'll take that! I was guessing 4lbs. Even though I felt like it was probably 3 and change. Its nice to have someone with you for pics. Its hard to do the one handed hold and shoot. Not to mention the fish always looks smaller. I have even considered a tripod with my camera mounted and a time or remote!
