Fish weight calculator

Fish Weight Calculators Have you ever wondered how much your "catch-n-release" trophy weighed? How many times  have you wished you could find or had taken your scales to weigh a nice catch? Why not try  this? Carry a measuring tape - a cloth one that can be bought in any sewing/craft department.  Take the measurements as described below, and use the following Fish Weight Calculator for  fish in general, trout, bass, pike and walleye. If you really goof up and forget or misplace the measuring tape, just use a couple pieces of line to take your mesurements and get the actual numbers when you get home. Be sure to somehow  mark one so you'll know which is length and which is girth. Remember that no length/weight formula can ever replace an accurate scale. However, the  following calculators should enable to you to get a fair estimate that's within about 10 percent  of the actual weight. Trout Calculator = Length x Girth x Girth / 800 Bass Calculator = Length x Length x Girth / 1200 Pike Calculator = Length x Length x Length / 3500 Walleye Calculator = Length x Length x Length / 2700 If you don't feel like doing the math yourself and want a quick answer, visit http://www.myoan.net/fishing/weight_calc.html Be sure no matter what species of fish, measure from the lower jaw to the tail and measure the girth at the widest part around the body.  Make sure that at no time should your tape measure or other  measuring device go under the gill plate or into the gills!
