Quinte Fishing

I forgot the formula pertaining to girth and length in relation to the weight of a fish. I got two walleye on closing day and wondered the approximate weight. One fish was 29.5" x 18.5" and the other was 28" x 17". And has anyone used the Berkley weight scale for up to 30lbs. I saw it at Walmart for about $30. Comments?

Cottager,

The Walleye Central weigh formula was down so here's how to calculate for those fish.

'Pike and muskie: length x length x length divided by 3500. Walleye: length x length x length divided by 2700. Crappie and panfish: length x length x length divided by 1200. Formulas for trout are a bit different. They take girth as a primary consideration of weight. For girth, measure the thickest point of the fish, which is generally in front of the dorsal fin. '

See you on the water opoening weekend?????
