Hoop - how ya doing.... The formula is Girth X Girth X Length / 800

GxGxL/800= weight in pounds .. But using that formula that fish would have been around 78 pounds (and likely a world record fish!). BUT 37 inches seems off for the girth. On the 53 pounder I've seen, the fish was 48 x 29.5 and that was a fat fish...

Got any pics?
