Trout weight
 

I forgot to weigh this fish, which was my personal best and caught the first time I targeted bigger trout, so I was curious - I've never really thrown anything other than a jighead with plastic and trying to get numbers, but this day we were chasing blow ups on top water. Ended up catching for 3 afternoons straight in 3' of water with 90 degree water temps... Doesn't that go against the rules? All fish were over 18".

How much might it weigh? It was 24"http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fc6b2097cf.jpg

I guessed 4-5lbs btw,

In spring, the expected weight of a 24" long speck is just under 5 lbs.

They lose a bit of weight in the heat of summer, but a fish as light as 4 pounds would be rare and look a lot thinner than that.

If the fish was really 24" long 4.5-5 lbs is a good bet.

I'd say 5 plus or minus. Nice Trout.

I wouldn't lie to ya! It was a touch over

Depends on how much time she spent @ the weirs swimming against the current.

Average 24" fish would prob be 5lbs, deduct .5lbs if caught by weirs; add .5lbs if caught wade fishing.

What about turners?

It really really depends on if weirs are open or not but


You got an Astros hat on so must be from Texas. I thought only inches matter in Texas

I'm from south crowley

What if she was spawning an protecting her bed from croakers?

Id say 4.5lbs easy...

That's the problem. Need to support a Louisiana team

4.351.

You see, there's them problem. That's why your math sucks! If you were from Rayne you'd be more on point

[quote=bobo23;803059]Lots of energy exerted chasing away croakers from spawning beds.:work:

.

4 1/2 max 24 inches middle of summer, my guess

I'm digging those old school lawn chairs.

Lol, Rayne might have the math but you know CROWLEY had the good stuff... That's why that white jeep was always running around there!

False, not a nair neck tattoo in that pic

That's just wrong

Haha! You have a good point sir

Heck, since you didn't weigh it I would call it 8.2 lbs

LOL... ya'll are cracking me up.

I'm guessing those black things in the background are LNG tanks. I hope I didn't give away your super secret fishing hole.

The tanks you're talking about aren't black dude, try again.

I have caught several 24" fish this year and even more 22-23"ERS. I've always thought that once u get to 23" fish is approx 3 pounds, and 24" is 4 pounds, 25" is 5 pounds, etc. I always have released anything 25" and over. Only two this year and both were 25". I need to get a scale. My lifetime best is a 29" er that weighed just under 8 pounds. My son and I were fishing middle of the lake with 3-4 other boats. We all ended up there running from thunderstorms. One of the guides asked the weight and i didn't have a scale so hollered the length. He said 8.3 is leader for CCA and it was 28" that I should go weigh it. Idk its skinny but we headed to Hebert's and weighed it. Fish died so I put it on the wall. Either a male or had spawned. Idk it was long and skinny. Still on the wall and I want one next to it but have never came close. Several 6 pound fish .
