Do you think this fish made 200lb club

e-money · 09-11-2006, 02:50 PM

Every now and again we catch a fish we really wish we could have weighed !!

We boated a fish about 2 weeks ago that was 72" w approx 45# girth.
I have heard formulas that put the fish at 190, and others at 205.

The guys on the boat guessed about 185, but wondering whether you all think this fish may have been fat enough to make 200?

Thanks in advance.

The first picture does not do the fish justice, makes it look small. It is always hard from a picture but I would say just shy of 200, I think 185 is fair.

No matter how big it is still a nice fish.

I'd say the 185 estimate was a good one.

Nice fish guys

Nothing wrong w 185, but 200 is a psychological victory.

Did I say 185? I meant 201. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fish was virtually identical to the 200lb fish Greg got in the Miami Swordfish. (his was 71.5 w 45 inch girth & thick to the tail.)

Our fish was 72 & stout down to tail as well.

Hope you can make it Friday Turtle !!

202, untill you lost 3 lbs from the dart shot :lol: so 199 :lol: Hard to tell, but 185 is a very fair estimate

JupiterSailfish · 09-11-2006, 04:10 PM

I'd say it's 200. It tasted very good btw, thanks!

Flatsfish B · 09-11-2006, 04:15 PM

Coincidentally Barry, that was your 200th post.

Nightfighter · 09-11-2006, 04:28 PM

Nice fish for sure. And thick.
15 LB's diff........... I can't tell from pic
The (LxGxG)/800 has a 20% cone of probability. Was it's belly full?

15lbs is hard to tell indeed.

Big inconvenience to ice fish till next day, so we diced him up

Then I would think she would be on the high end of the formula, cuz she isn't skinny like a migrating fish, AND, she had a full belly.
