hey anybody know the ratio to estimate weight???length-girth...I had a fish a couple weeks ago on KY that measured 25 and a half long and was 20 inches in girth...dead battery in the digital scale..this fish was HUGE ...oh and I did release her

Steve the formula for estimating weight by measurements is
Length x Length x Girth Divided by 1200. With your measurements your fish was 10.8lbs. And were did you say you caught her? LOL
Good job man.

thanks alot guys the fish was a beauty I was guessing around 10 , the biggest i've ever seen

I caught one this year that measured 23" long and had an 18" girth. She weighed almost exactly 8 lbs. 8 oz.

You had one heck of a fish there. I don't know how big but bigger than mine! I bet that was a 10 pound fish.

6.25 pound LM .... on Clarks Hill (South Carolina side)

Caught it on a Fluke on 8 pound line and my light creek fishin rig. After catching a half-dozen 12-13 inchers, this one was a complete shock. (but a very pleasant one)
