Thread: What do you think she weighs?

At 17" this time of year if it is a female still with eggs should be right at 3, if spawned out 2.75

I weighed one a few weeks ago that was 16 1/2 inches, it weighed 2.7 lbs. but wasn't carrying eggs.

Good fish. It sure makes a difference on which lake they come out of on how much they weigh for their length. We had a fully egged at 16 and 1/2 that was 2.87. Same fish out of the local lake would barely break 2.

That's a good one but from Nimrod after the spawn close to 2lbs my guess. Other lakes would be heavier . Still a nice fish.
You or the better half catch it ? That fish with finger tip bent would be close to 16''. Still a good fish Byron !

Just by the naked eye , Ima say a good 2 lbs, not much more than that....GREAT FISH !! Congrats

I weighed one last week exactly 17in full of eggs. She hit 2.6 on a rapala digital scale. I thought she was bigger. She's in the freezer. Dunno if I'll mount her or not. Nice fish no matter. Congrats!

I'd guess that one would take about 1.409 ounces of corn meal.
