The coho landed yesterday was 33in. length, 20.5in. girth. I guessed 15-16lbs. Bled it and put it in the box with a few blocks of ice. Weighed it a few hours later on a cheapo scale, reading a little over 15lbs.
Well, a lurker friend pluged the measurements in Bob's Salmon / Stealhead formula with a result of 17.89lbs.
Is there a better formula for hooknose?
Or should I get a better scale?

Slabhunter:

I usually use the one at Johns Guide Service, but on occasion use this one, which is modified for species.

Hope that helps ya. It sounds like the fish was a piggy!

Mike B,

Thanks for the link. Same weight.

This is probably the largest net pen fish I've landed down here in MA 13. Caught it in the afternoon about an hour into the flood tide.
