So how long was your fish out of the water until you could put it on a certified digital scale? You do know that stripers lose weight the longer they are out of tha surf, right?

Just going by the math, bro! And using the C&R Formula that OTW and others employ. Somebunny onehelluvalot smarter than me came up with it and most people accept it, so that's good enuff for me. Unless of course YOU have a better calculation, something more accurate than that one for the Striper Coast to use?

Not worth it ~to me~ to kill any fish, especially LAHHHGE (50# - 70#), to place it on a scale at some B&T. I'd much rather take her pic, and take some measurements, and then let her go make sum more babies and somenight return; to be the New World Record beneath the cover of a dark new moon.

NOW!!! That BEEEOTCH is comin' Home with Tha DAWG!
Iff i should ever be so prepared AND so opportunistic !!!
