Tmmytomato Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 From what I've heard for 50+ years - and verified more often than not with scales - is that there's generally about a 10% weight gain or loss when the fish is full of eggs or has just dropped all her eggs. Most 7# fish don't become 9# fish when they are full of roe. A 7# fish weighs 112 ounces. 10% of 112 ounces is (let's round up) 12 ounces. Add the 12 onces to the 7# fish and you're still not quite at 8#. I think the 5# fish that would have weighed two more pounds prior to spawining are the mother of fish tales. Quote
