Bob, do you have the "Girth Formula" for musky?

Thanks,

Length X Girth X Girth / 900
same for walleye, pike, trout, Gar, Barracuda, any other long bodied fish. Divide by 800 for any fish shaped more like a Bass than a pike

[fishing is good]

after coverting to ounces how do u figure out pounds? in another posting for the big smallie at fearson creek when u converted to ounces u came up with 8.16. and so u said the smallie would of been 3lb. 8oz. what did u do to the 8.16 to get 3lb.8oz.?

I gave the answer to this in that other post, but here it is again, I guessed on the girth of the bass as it wasnt included but 12 in. sounded right for a 19.5 Smallie so.... using the formula you get (L)19.5 x (G)12= 234 x (G)12= 2808 / 800 = 3.51 now the .51 is tenths of a lb not ounces, to convert it to oz. multiply .51 X 16 = 8.16 ounces, now dont ask me about the .16 I'm a fisherman not a math teacher ( LOL!) If I can say my fished weighed about/over 3lb 8 oz I'm satisfied
