Length -v- Girth for determining weight of fish...
Have any of you used the Legth-v-Girth method of determining a fish's weight?
I tried it on a couple sample measurements I knew ( including #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&'s 50) and the few times I tried it and it looked about right...
The formula is Girth x Girth x Length / 800 =Weight
His fish had a girth of 29.5 inches and a length of 48 so 29.5 x 29.5 x 48 / 800 = 52.215 and the fish hit the scales at 52.5 pounds when weighed on a certified scale...
Just figured that this would be the way that the catch and release fish for the year long would work out (will still accept weigh in slips for kept fish (East Tide :P ), will have a list of "approved" B&Ts for when this kicks off on May 1st)...
