I would tend to agree with you. I caught a fish last week that measured 18 or 17 or 19 on the Boga. I never once thought it was thirty though, to be honest I thought it was more like 15

I'm usually within a pound and so is RIRockhound. Last year there was a guy on the bike path with a decent fish. I said "nice fish about 25#" he said "that's exactly what it weighed at Red Top." You catch and see fish for more than 40 years it become apparent. The real challenge is with a fish over 40. Tough to tell even if you are sure they are over 40 it becomes a guessing game.
