Wat is the Mass of this yellow - 61cm

[henried]

I landed a 61cm SM Yellow at the Barrage last night. I did not have a scale so I measured and marked it against my wading stick...It was in excelent condion.

Can someone give me an estimate on the mass?

Thanks

500g, ?


only joking , sounds like a nice fish , my guess would be +/-2.8 kg ? depends if its fat?

You should have measured it's girth too, but my estimation would be about 2.8kg.

Mike, see my comments on the 'Fish Weight thingie sent half an hour back using old-fashioned calculations - seems you guys are probably about spot-on for the yellow's weight!

A while back I did some testing with both length & mass of SM - a whole bunch of fish over a period of time were recorded.

As a rule, a 60cm SM in good condition weighs 6lb (2.7kg) - so all the estimates of 2.8kg are spot on.
