How Much Does Your Fish Weigh?
Fish can be injured when weighed with portable scales. To estimate the weight
of your fish, simply take a length and girth measurement (in inches),
and use the following formulas.
Remember, these are only estimates!
A = length; B = girth (girth is the greatest distance around the body)
Example:
A 30 inch striped bass weighs approximately 12 pounds.

30″ x 30″ x 30″ |

12.3 pounds |
