Default Is this equation right?

Not for sure if this equation is right...Is it Length x Girth / by 1200 to get the weight of a fish?? Can anyone help me? thanks R.S.

I think it's length x length x girth divided by 1200 for a bass. Maybe that's what you meant? Never tried it. I throw them back and when the wife asks "Did you catch any?" I say " Yup, and they were all between 5 and 7 pounds. Also had a 10 pounder pull off."

no its not..chuck is right

example 14(l)x10(g)=140/1200=.116lbs

14(l)x14(l)x10(g)=1960/1200=1.63lbs


which one do you think a 14x10in fish would weigh?

the correct formula is even listed on the page you linked to

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm in this answer?? Hope not.
