Weighing Fish - Guestimates?

[DFrink]

I guess I just dont see the relevence of all this. Catch a fish, make a guess, take a pic, let it go. What do you care if the numbers are off?

I'm glad someone said it.

The only time I have cared about the weight was when I was commercial salmon fishing. Then it was the ONLY important thing. It's not important to me when fishing for fun.

Yeah, I don't care about the weight either unless it is an unusually large fish. As far as the length, I usually measure because if I post a report online, I like to be accurate; otherwise, I'm usually not that hung up about length either.

I never measure trout... I always guesstimate. The only time a weigh a fish is if it's a big LM.
