Guess the weight of this fish
I was out Pike fishing on the P.O. River yesterday with PDXfisher from Chapter 57 and I hooked into a nice but not what I would call a monster Pike. I had first guessed her maybe at or a little over 10Lb. I had hooked her kinda deep on the swimbait I was using so it took me longer then it should to get the hook out and get her back in the water then I like. So I only lifted her long enough for one quick shot and didn't try to tape or weigh the fish.
She swam away just fine, but at home after I got the picture on the computer she looked bigger then I had first thought so I put the pixs into MNS paint and using my sunglasses as a scale which are 5 1/2" across (that's 39 pixels) so using 39 X 39 pixels boxes across her, this fish was a minimum of about 36" to 37". So what do you guys think it weighed?
Here is the same pixs without the boxes
Oh Craig, Yah notice the Muskies Inc. hat?

All I have to say is "DAMN! That's a nice fish."

RE:Guess the weight of this fish
A 36.5 inch Pike would probably weigh weigh between 12.5-13.5 pounds. Just a guess but I think that would be pretty accurate.

Yeah, nice looking fish for sure! I'm hoping to find some just like it tomorrow.

RE:Guess the weight of this fish
After thinking about this a little more I think my guess of 37 in. was a bit big. Because the fish is a little closer to the camera then my sunglasses are the 5 1/2" rule would be off some, so I think that a 5" rule per box would be closer. So I think this fish was closer to 35" then 37".

RE:Guess the weight of this fish
I would guess it is right about 12 pounds. Nice fish.

RE:Guess the weight of this fish
The fish drapes over your hand and lays on the diagonal of the two left squares. The diagonal of a 5x5 square is about 7inches so if able to straigthen that out I think you would gain about 4 inches length. So my guess is 40 incher and it lookes heavy to me. I say 13#er.
In any case, was a nice one.

I believe a Fish-n-fool special forum would be fitting! Any thoughts?

We could start a new game "Guess that weight" Game would only apply to fish and not other objects in the photo.

Funny. Just cover the picture with a fishnet grid, piece of cake.
I did think that gird deal was pretty interesting stuff, FnF. Hadn't seen that used before.
