Redfish Measurement Question
 
I grabbed a couple bulls off the beach yesterday and didn't have a scale. I measured the biggest red, and it was 44 inches long, with a 25 inch circumference. Is there any way to estimate the weight? No big deal. Just curious. It was a blast. The big reds were ready to play on Holly Beach! Plenty of bait shrimp in there too. Even an inept Yankee with a 4 foot cast net pulled in enough to fish with. Though the reds only wanted big mullet chunks.

44 inches is a big one. Most 44 inch redfish weigh 30-35 lbs this time of year.
