This is merely a approximation
using a formula devised from steelhead that were, weighed and
measured. I carry a compact measuring tape in my vest.
Common errors that occur when weighing fish
-
Scale not calibrated correctly. Go to your tackle shop and
weigh some known lead weights.
-
Bouncing fish on scale moving slider bar to far for accurate
reading.
-
Guessing the weight (Great fishermen can be several pounds
off actual weight)
Before you release your fish you can measure it by using a
dollar bill (six inches long) or measure it beside your fishing rod.
Fish can also be live weighed if they are in a net. (knotless
type)
Do
not put a scale into fishes gill plate.
