Super User Darren. Posted April 11, 2016 Super User Posted April 11, 2016 LOL. Heh. Happened to me with another brand. The fish I weighed was pounds lighter than it should have been... Stupid thing was set for KGs... Heh. Quote

Stupid thing was set for KGs... Heh. Happened to me recently as well. Weighed one that was a little over five pounds and couldn't figure out why it was showing half of that on the scale. Felt like an idiot as I kept resetting and weighing until I noticed the kg at the top. 1 Quote
primetime Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 oops...No wonder all the fish my buddy and I were catching were all showing up a few pounds lighter than I estimated and I figured the scale was broken..I need to call my friend and tell him to check the scale...It is the Rapala Lock N Weigh 20lb scale or 50..Can't remember, I rarely use it, but he loves it and I let him keep it, and lately he will send me a pic of a 3lber and I am looking at it compared to his arm and thinking " That fish is an easy 21", so it has to be 5lbs plus this time of year...How is it 3? I guess it is not broken, I bet that is the problem. Glad you asked this question. I am not familar with scales and how they work etc...but I do like having it on good trips just in case we catch one that is possibly over 8lbs. I hope the scale is not broken considering it was not cheap and only opened last year,so I just figured it needed to be calibrated or something...That makes sense....He had a 19" Fish on the scale a few weeks ago and it was saying right about 2lbs according to him and I just told him it was wrong, the fish was a solid 4lbs give or take a 1/4 lb... Thx for the question, I hope that is what the issue is since it get's lots of use, he loves to weigh everything from bluegills to bass to bowphin... Quote
