 Weight Calculation
Forgot your scale? Guess what there is a way that you can get the average weight of the bass that you caught. Just measure the length, and then the girth. The girth is the length around the largest part of the body of a bass. You can then manually use the formula below to calculate the approximate weight of your Largemouth or Smallmouth bass. You can also use the weight calculator below.
W = (L x G2) / K
W = weight in pounds
L = length in inches
G = girth in inches (squared)
K = 800 for fish with "normal shapes (bass, trout, etc.);
900 for long, cylindrical fish (pike, gar, barracuda, etc.)
Example: If you catch a Largemouth Bass that is 14 inches long and has a girth of 16 inches, you would estimate its weight by multiplying its length times the square of its girth, then dividing by 800:
1. 14 x 16 x 16 = 3584
2. 3584 / 800 = 4.48
Congratulations! You've just caught a fat 4 1/2 Largemouth Bass.
