We used to always figure a 36 was 20 pounds. 36 and 30 lb is plump!
Tynan how could the guy miss by so much?

the weight goes way up per inch over 40 so that makes your fish more normal.
Happy to see fat fish though. Means there is plenty to eat around.It should also mean more fish as the young ones should find it easier to thrive with more available food.
