    Looking for an online source to calc some smallie weights. We got one on eye opener on Mille Lacs that was 19.5″ long. Didn’t get girth though.

    She was a football though!! What does a 20″ smallie usually weigh??

    So when I get my 25 this weekend I should consider it a dandy??

    Why does it take a walleye guy to answer a bass question?

    I am with you on this one Bobber. I will fish for anything BUT smallies are what I wake up for each day.

    Just something to remember, Lake smallies tend to have a bit more weight to them, than river smallies. I am sure you knew that though.

    I found this one also, but everything seems geared towards largies. I sure hope I don’t catch any of those slimy things.

    Length cubed over 1600

    This is the most accurate formula I have seen yet…

    Guys we are talking to a walleye fisherman IN English please.

    It probably would help to type slower too.

    For largemouth, the most accurate I have seen is length^2 x girth / 1200. That works only if you get a girth measurement…

    For smallmouth, length^3 / 1800. The “bass” formula (length^3/1600) tends to over-estimate actual smallie weights, especially outside the spawn, and also for “river” smallies.

    I guess it won’t matter. After I catch Slider’s pet 25″ fish, it will be all over but the singing(drinkin’ and partyin’)!!

    Now I just gotta figure out how to get the fish certified and back in the lake. Wouldn’t that be a good problem to have this weekend!!!

    Thanks everyone!!!

    Good luck with the fish, as I did not even tell you about that spot. You should NOT be with in 1 mile of that fish.
