If you are referring to the fish I posted about the 3.14 lb fish was exactly 18" long. The 2.98 I believe was right at 17". Length to weight ratio is never consistent with fish even from the same lake let alone different lakes and states. That's why you see 90% of the people just post the weight of a fish and not the length. The only guys posting fish length with out a weight are guys with out a digital scale. I release all my fish so if I post fish that I caught you will never see a length. I weigh it get a picture and release. I don't like the stress caused by laying a fish in or on a measuring devise.
