here are the images
I think there's a little misconception in how sonar data is plotted onto the screen ...

Turn up the chart speed and they will be even bigger!
I agree that relative of the fish to my boat does affect the fish real size. For example, I most likely overestimated the fish size when the fish swim away from the boat in a faster speed vs my boat speed. My calculation would most likely underestimate the fish size if the fish swim towards my boat in a faster speed vs. my boat speed. I was in a canoe, and drifting with very little wind at 0.1 mph. Fish probably swim faster than my canoe.
Best to overestimate. It keeps your " interester" stimulated.
