52 incher was weighted at a shop because it bottomed out a 30lb boga and the 48inch was bouncing the boga between 29\30 lbs...

I always thought an pound a inch when they got over 45 inches but I have found that not to be True and these 2 fish have reinforced inchs do not translate to weight

Keep in mind that the formula and rule of thumb both use fork length rather than total length. Seems nowadays everyone uses total length which adds a few inches on a big fish.
