Also since girth is squared (It has a very significant impact in the outcome) it does no good to estimate the girth "about" doesn't cut it, it needs to be very precise to get an accurate "guestimate"
I have been very fortunate to fish around the world and catch some spectacular trout of many species, up to 18 lbs (not including Lakers). I have never seen a 11 or even a 9 Lb 25" trout. With that said without a digital scale to verify it, it doesn't matter. Who cares what it weighed, it is a great trophy Tiger a 25" beauty a great catch for Sure !! I would love to had caught it.
Much like people with a great 6 point bull Elk who cares how many "points or inches" taking a 6 Point Bull elk is a great trophy as well no matter what is "scores" !!
Great job excellent catch and fishing report.
Thanks - you are correct on the formula. Really wish my digital scale was working to get the accurate weight.
This monster fish did not want to come up the hole he came up tail first. When I saw his tail I reached my arm all the way down the hole to get under him and popped him onto the ice. Amazing to see such a large Tiger come out of Fish Lake.
Congrats to Brunomoki on such a great catch - I only made sure the fish made it onto the ice.
The fish thrive in that lake and you can catch a lot of different species there - that is why it is my favorite.
