I noticed that the smallest crappie weighed in at spring camp was 3 lb 4 oz!!
Some people can't guess weight at all. I saw a guy i knew from work at hogue last year. We were both running noodles for catfish at night. He asked how big of fish we caught. We had one about 5lbs. He said they caught one that was 13lbs. The fish i had was bigger. So i guess i really had a 15lber.:dono
I can guess weight really well. I have a technique for it...I take the fish and attach a hook under his gills. The hook is attached to a chain that connects to a scale. I look at a digital screen that will read out the weight and then I guess my scale is of .50 lbs so I add .75 to the digital readout. I have never been proved wrong!
I also think that a lot people need to check their scales. I'm not convinced that these cheap fish scales weigh very accurately.
Oh, come one now, accurate scales takes all the fun out of bragging!
I checked my digital scales with 1/2 ounce weights and it was right on according to the weights. I have been pretty disappointed a few times about the actual weight of a fish. I will usually guess him bigger in a picture or just coming out of the water.
