The one i just bought, tells me the approximate size of a big fish. The biggest one i saw on the screen was 42 inches it was chasing a school of bait fish.

The unit also features selective fish ID which although can't be completely accurate, it can give the user the ability to at least check the size of the fish before wasting time in regions which don't provide legal size fish or targeted fish and the ability to separate fish from structure identify.

r u sure its not an underwater camera? I've used a few sonars and have never seen what you have seen..interesting for sure

[wiredantz]

no camera, just a transducer

I am going to take a wild guess and say you have the fish ID on that is showing fish symbols and the depth they are at next to them. scroll through the menu and change it to raw sonar signal.

I will try that when i go out next time.

Well, what iceman says its probably correct, i just bought the thing and it says "The Selective Fish ID feature provides a precise picture of sonar returns and when the very selective requirements are met, the unit displays three different fish icons representing intensity of the sonar return, and an indicator of relative fish size."

Well i guess a BIG fish icon means a really big fish and how deep he is.

that makes sense
