Calico weights

Anyone have any idea of the length of let's say an 8 lb calico. I want to spend a few days chasing a PB calico. Calicos between 20 and 22 inches are not the unusual here but I can't judge the weight of them. I suppose the question is like asking how long is a piece of rope, because of pre and post spawn weight changes, but if anyone has caught an 8 to 10 pound calico, did you record the length and girth?

I'd punch in a bunch of lengths and girths to make that rope for yours.

Ive caught a healthy 21" 5lbs bass and also had a skinny 23" 6lbs bass, so I'd say a healthy 23"+ fish your looking at the 7+lbs, never caught anything bigger. PB is 23.25" 7pounder.
