Put the tape to them, but my battery was out in my 50# Rapala scales.

So, what would a fat and happy 40' female weigh?

Thanks!

Next time measure the girth, that will get you a little closer.

Here's a calcultor http://www.fishdreams.com/calculator.all_species.html

40" fish with a 25" girth puts you at 31 lbs
40" fish with a 27" girth puts you at 36.5 lbs
