My 58#'er was 53" long....it "should have" weighed 68# from the chart. I would rather have an overweight fish then a starving one.

I think those old charts considered fork length instead of overall.
Using the Girth x Girth x Lenght / 800 method shows the fish at 70#s so for it to be 61 is certainly reasonable. I lifted this fish myself and can attest to it's size...
