 Fish
Weight Calculator 
Have
you ever wondered how much your "catch-n-release" trophy weighed? How many times
have you wished you could find or had taken your scales to weigh a nice catch?
Why not try this? Carry a measuring tape - a cloth one that can be bought in any
sewing/craft department. Take the measurements as described below, and use the
following Fish Weight Calculator for fish in general.
If
you really goof up and forget or misplace the measuring tape, just use a couple
pieces of line to take your mesurements and get the actual numbers when you get
home. Be sure to somehow mark one so you'll know which is length and which is
girth.
 Remember
that no length/weight formula can ever replace an accurate scale. However, the
following calculators should enable to you to get a fair estimate that's within
about 10 percent of the actual weight.
Note: Be sure no matter what species of fish and measure from the lower jaw to
the fork of the tail and measure the girth at the widest part around the body.
Make sure that at no time should your tape measure or other measuring device go
under the gill plate or into the gills!
