HMMM,

It seems to me that the fishers experience and personsl history of catch will determine the range of their definition of a particular term. Once a fisher or group of fishers has fished together for a while, they develop their own set of definitions. The following are the ones my little gang in Boston Harbor use

Term Bass Blue

Mount sized 50 Pounds 20 pounds
Trophy / Cow 40+ pounds 17 + pounds
Big Fish 30+ pounds 15+ pounds
Good Fish 20+ pounds 12 + pounds
Keeper 34+ inches n/a
Schoolie 34- inches
Rat 28- inches 10-pounds

My all time pet peive is when people describe their good fish as a 32 or a 30 and they are talking inches not pounds

Just my not so humble opinions
