| Interesting weights/lengths especially in the smallie list. Last month
I caught a 5 lb. 2 oz. smallie that was just barely over 22".
I'll have to go through my clubs past records and see if there is any
useful data there. I'll post it when I can.

| 53.2 | My 7+# Largemouth was only 24".... | DELNI::JMCDONOUGH | | Fri Sep 06 1991 13:27 | 13 |
| From my experience with Largemouth Bass, there is very little if any
correlation between length and weight.
Example: If I remember correctley the current U.S. RECORD was only
26.5 inches long---but he was almost 28 inched in GIRTH. A 20 inch
female in pre-spawn condition could easily go 5.5 pounds, yet a 20 inch
male caught in early spring after fasting all winter could weigh in at
a pound and a half...
Weight depends on numerous factors, the biggest being the amount and
availability of the food supply and the time of the year..

YOO
I know someone that caught a 9lb 4oz largemouth that was
24" long and 24" girth. The lenght and weight on the chart is
close up to about 3lb after that forget it. Season and spawn
play to much of a part on the weight.

Kiv!! Your memory still works!!
Somewhere in the "old" fishing notes is a formula that includes
both length, girth, and a few calculations. I think the comments
following it talked about how accurate it is... Never tried it
myself however.

| 53.5 | Slightly off on your American Record | SEMIU5::MATTSON | | Wed Sep 11 1991 09:50 | 16 |
| re.2
The current record is 22 lbs and 4 ounces, 28 1/2 inch girth, 32 1/2
inches long. It was caught by George Perry in 1932. After weighing and
measuring it at a local store, he took the fish home and he and his
family ate it.
The information given in this original note is a statistical
average. Meaning that you'll always find examples that are above or
below. I have a Golden Ruler that has the length and the corresponding
approximation for weight written on it, 95% of the time it's within an
ounce or two of the weight of the bass, after I've weighed the fish with
my Normark scale. So for the most part the data is accurate, but I
agree at certain times it can be off by a lot.

| 53.6 | Fish weight formula (Largemouth) | WMOIS::BOURGAULT_D | | Tue Sep 17 1991 13:47 | 10 |
| The formula for largemouth is Length x Length x Length
------------------------ =
1600
ex. 20" x 20" x 20" = 8000
-------------- ---- = 5 lbs
1600 1600
This formula is pretty much what is used by the golden rule. I'm not
sure but I think the divider used for smallie's is 1550 ?

| Realized I made a typo on the smallie divider should be 1650?

White (calico) Bass between Bluegill and 'Bass'
'Stream' Trout and Perch the same as Walleye
