Length / Girth Charts

[Hooper]

Does anyone have a link to a decent length / girth conversion chart? We released a 46" bass with a 37" girth on Friday but had no scale on board. I cannot find a decent conversion chart.

Thanks, Hooper

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?

Here's a Length/Age/Weight chart:

From my experience, it's pretty good at determining the weight of a striper given a certain length. It can though, be off a little, but for the most part it does it's job well.

Let me know what else you find???

with a 27" inch girth it would be a 42lb. bass. (41.91)lbs. that sounds more like it.
