Cats are moving into the shallows on their way to spawn. My PB and I have only what I think it weighs, somewhere between 20 to 25. I didn't take it home to weigh it. I did order a set of scales last night tho. Now I won't catch any worth weighing...lol

Nice huge cat Zac! Congrats on your new PB and keep that new scale handy, because you just never know when you’ll be using it.

Did it weigh more than your puppy? You can weigh your dog and compare 😉😉😉
Nice fish.

Gives a close estimate.

weight in pounds = girth x girth x length / 800

I read that as girth squared x length /800. is that right? or do you get a girth reading at 2 different points?

You are correct. If girth is 17 and length is 40 it would be

17 x 17 x 40 / 800 = 14.45 lb's
