I dont care which way.

To demonstrate the lack of relationship between pounds and inches:

I caught two 38.5 inch halis. One weighed 18.5 and the other 27 pounds.

That is 50% more weight.



Tight lines.

Big Fish

Two weekends ago I was at Tidelands and I caught a 16 1/2 inch lizard fish. My personal best for that type. C + R

As determined by the IGFA, the correct way to measure is:

(Length x Diameter) + (Weight/Girth) all divided by the angle of the tip squared.

It is species and angler normalized and independent.

I look at it this way as well. For me, I know a pig when I see it
