There can be certain circumstances where a fish might appear to be heavier.U pull a fish onto the beach with a big plug cross it's mouth u might notice it's belly is fat..IMO they will take on water.I have had em burp out what seemed like a 1/2 gallon of water quite a while after I have landed em.This certainly happens in current.Off the bridges we used to say we drowned em.So when u pull one off the beach an scale it.There is a great possibility that It could be 2-3 lbs lighter when it hits the scales. Not much u can do about it either.I, like BB believe the weight loss is minimum on a well iced fish.Perhaps trying eyes read the small numbers on them boga's
