Scales

I ordered another Rapala 15 lb digital tournament scale .The last one got wet from leaving on the boat. Not cheap but most accurate scales I have used. New one came in today and pulled out my test weight. Everyone said last one was wrong, they all weigh lite from what I was told. My test weight is certified test Kilogram / 2.205 lbs . This one just like last set and shows 2.20 lbs .Since scales only go out to hundreds that is close as you can get .:biggrin

I’d say good to go. :highfive

Sounds like it is on the money

they ALL weigh light from what I remember ......:Rofl
the number of 2 lb fish I have seen hit the hand held and come up 1.5 to 1.75 is unreal .....:crazy:

Ii hate to use scales, I pull up a monster and say "Oh this one has got to be over 2#'s" but nope 1.74#'s in weight is still the best 16"+ river fish I have caught. The visual profile and my imagination has to make up the difference to keep me from facing reality.

yep wish he would have contacted me before buying a new one
I got several hanging on the garage wall that work fine and pretty much never see any fish ....
IF you do not mind seeing a 2 lber weigh in at 1.5 they are the bomb :Rofl
oh the memories , one fella was walking all around the crappie house one fine winter morning with his 5 gallon in hand
EVERYONE kept saying did you see Autsin's 2 lber he got earlier ?
he and I know each other pretty well , he is a fishee story king ....
walked up to me that morning and tried to go on by me ....
said hey bro , let me see that there 2 lber ......
looked in his bucket and there was a fish about 13 inches or so and not very thick ....
I said who wieghed that fish bro , he said the marina ....
I said ....they best get that scale checked then , kuz bro that ain't even a 2 lber ....:Rofl
he then started to squirm a bit and said maybe I misread the scale ....:Rofl:banghead:Rofl
