joe bag o donuts Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Is there a website with info on how much a bass should weigh according to length? I realize that pre and post-spawn bass will be different, but I'd like to get a rough estimate on how much some of the fish I'm catching are weighing. Thanks Or I supose I could get a scale... : Quote
Super User David P Posted May 19, 2007 Super User Posted May 19, 2007 Go to TackleBox above, there's a weight calculator. Type in length and girth and it gives you an approx weight.. Quote
George Welcome Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Buy a scale - any measurement formula is just a guesstimate and highly inaccurate. Quote
mattm Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 George is right, get a scale. The weight estimators will help you on the fish you've already thrown in the water, but if weight is important a scale is a must. Quote
Super User Marty Posted May 20, 2007 Super User Posted May 20, 2007 As previously stated, the charts can be very inaccurate for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, I use them for the majority of my fish because I only weigh the big ones and don't need exactness on the others. These are New York's charts. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9222.html Quote
