Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yesterday I was watching a fishing show ( I don't know which one ) on TOC, and they taught you had to find out a fishes weight by using the girth and length. The formula is as follows: length x girth x girth ____________________ = weight 800 Did anybody else know this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Re: Something I learned yesterday... that formula is a joke..no one formula can work for all species. There are species specific formulas, and they give you ballpark at best most times. Particularly on larger fish the formulas tend to bo off.

Guest Andrea Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Re: Something I learned yesterday... Was that the one with Roland Martin and they were catching grouper?????????? If it was....that formula DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!! I can tell you right now his fish did NOT weigh that much. I have caught grouper that size before. I think he said it weighed over 100 pounds........yeah RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gobblergetter15 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Something I learned yesterday... Roland Martin is notorious for exagerating fish size. I just weigh em with a scale, so I have no need for formulas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
