I am from the old farts school on inches to weight, but seeing as I mostly release fish caught I do not weigh them as I feel they are harmed more by hanging them from the lip. I have been using the attached chart to estimate the weight of a fish caught. Note that it gives the min and max weights of a particular sized fish. It is a useful guide only. NS - is this the chart you were looking for?

That's a great chart the only thing is are the talking fork length or total length, there is a huge difference, by looking the chart over I think it is fork length.

This is very useful. I don't have a scale and being on the younger side of this thread(37) report in inches because I only carry a tape. This is a very interesting thread with a lot of good points by all. Thanks Striprman for your conversions as well!
