Members BigFishOn Posted January 3, 2007 Members Posted January 3, 2007 I caught a male brown and it was 30.5 inches. It had a girth of 20 inches. Does anyone know a formula for weight? I caught it below outlet #2 on a grey scud with a little orange tied in. This is the biggest trout I have caught. I did not have a camera with me so I just measured it and returned it so some one else could have the same thrill.
Leonard Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Nice fish.. did you catch him today??? I have seen a fish that big around there since early Dec.. I believe it is something like this.. (I maybe wrong.. but Its close) Lenght (X) width (X) lenght (devided by) 800 = lbs this would make the fish close to 23 1/4lbs If Im wrong.. then someone else can clarify ....

MrDucky Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I saw a stick-on ruler on a bench at a public access dock that had the formulas for trout, bass, crappie, and something else, and I think you are right. I remember thinking it would be handy to have, since it also listed the common weights for the different fish, but I don't know where to find one! Yikes!!! I Hate that warning horn
jdmidwest Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Here is one on the internet. Punch in the the dimensions and it comes out to 13.5 lbs. Nice one! I also have one on the palm pilot but it is out in the truck. This one claims to be within 10 percent. http://www.fishdreams.com/calculator.all_species.html "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Members jrbhc8 Posted January 4, 2007 Members Posted January 4, 2007 I have found that (length X Girth X Girth)/(800) gives a very close approimation. All of the online calculators that I have tried are all off. Just my expierience. According to my method it comes out to be 15.25 lbs. Nice fish, sucks to not have a camera to snap a pic on a fish like that. I'll bet that never happens again. LOL jrbhc8 www.troutchapters.com jrbhc8 ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ | <°)))>< | <°)))>< | | ¿ >°)))><
Members BigFishOn Posted January 4, 2007 Author Members Posted January 4, 2007 I caught this fish on 12/27/06 about 3:15 pm. Thanks, I think that the www.fishdreams.com/calculator.all_species.html is the best place to go.
cpriest Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 i didnt check the posted links, but the AGFC trout pamphlet says...... Length x Girth x Girth / 680 = weight (pg 22 for those who want to look it up!) thats just shy of 18 lbs, nice fish!

They have a slot ruler for that area. That may be what you saw. Yes, I'm That Guy
