i sort of agree with you on this one, Bill L~~

but that is what the scale(OTW certified weigh station) at Winchester's of GLSCTR showed and what they put down on the slip??

something about those ###'s seems highly suspect to me, also.
it felt more like a mid-thirties, next time i'm doing the measuring!!

So here is the weight chart:

Length 34" 35" 36" 37" 38" 39" 40" 41" 42" 43" 44"

Max lb 19.0 20.5 22.0 23.5 25.5 27.2 29.5 31.0 33.5 36.3 39.0
Avg lb 16.5 18.0 19.5 20.7 22.0 24.5 26.0 27.3 29.7 32.0 34.0
Min lb 14.0 15.5 16.8 17.5 19.0 20.7 22.0 23.0 25.0 27.0 29.0


Bass weight = (length x length x girth) / 1,200

35.5 x 35.5 x 28.5 /1200 = 29.40

So your bass had almost a 29"waist

Jess - no need to measure just go by this method:

"In the arm, shoulder or brain of a striped bass fisherman is a scale, and the moment the bass goes in the air the striped bass fisherman, no matter what his blood pressure is, places that imaginary scale under the bass and coolly weighs it."

One of my favorite quotes.

Original quote by Norman Maclean was edited by DZ to encompass striped bass fishermen.
