A lot depends on girth, especially when you get over 25#.

A 42" fish can weigh anywhere from low 20s to close to 30 depending on girth.

General rule of thumb:

10 lbs about 29-30"

15# about 34-35"

20# about 38-40"

25# about 42-44"

30# about 43-46"

35# about 45-48"

40# about 46-50"

45# about 47-52"

50# about 48-53".

54" or greater you could probably assume you have your 50# unless it's a real racer.

Girth is the real key---the record fish was 78-1/2 lbs but only 53=1/2" on length.
