Big goggle eye weights?

[Devan S.]

Anyone ever put big goggle eye/rock bass on the scales to get weights for an approximate length?

Relative weight charts are available for a wide range of freshwater species, but I've never seen one for goggle eye.

Likely the same as redear or green sunfish.

I thought green sunfish would be close although I've never run across any green sunfish much bigger than 6 or 7". Maybe splitting the difference between a smallmouth and a green sunfish would get me close.

I’ve never done either but we used to catch the biggest ones that I have ever seen at night bass fishing in Schooner Creek about 30’ deep they were at least 10” long.  We catch some on shaky in the upper James bigger than any I ever caught out of a stream but nothing like the ones in Schooner.
