I simply don't keep and weigh enough fish to be able to tell, to within a pound, how heavy a fish is. So I usually report fish in inches to avoid over estimating the size. Just seams easier and it works for me. If I had been fishing longer and during the commercial days pounds would be what was engrained in my head. I really think its just a generation thing.
