I thought an 80 cm fish was in the 16 lb range but was just playing on the internet with length weight tables and most are suggesting 12 to 13 lbs-is this what you guys are finding???
Some can go 15-16lbs short fat ones, most are 12-13 lbsI thought an 80 cm fish was in the 16 lb range but was just playing on the internet with length weight tables and most are suggesting 12 to 13 lbs-is this what you guys are finding???
WEEELL! Never accept a fish weight from me unless you see the numbers on the scale and my fingers are nowhere near it!!

Lol there is a whole lotta 20 lbs tyees kicking around as well
Yup, I need to buy one of those scale, and measuring tapeLol there is a whole lotta 20 lbs tyees kicking around as well
Tyees are over 30 some people eye tapes are just a little outGeeze, I've gotta get back in the loop.
I always thought Tyee were 30 pounds and over.
I could have had another 20 Tyee to my credit had I only known that 20 lbs. was all that was required.
Darn it! I miss so much now that I'm getting old.
LOL
Take care.
Last year, I was lucky enough to get a fair number of fish we kept in the 78-80cm range. Can’t remember the exact lengths but I do remember the smallest in that range was a long skinny 11lber and the heaviest was a 21lber that looked like a carp crossed with a football. Amazing the weight range but it shouldn’t be surprising. Nature is that way with a lot of animals. There are tall slim people and short rotund people as well.Tyees are over 30 some people eye tapes are just a little out
That’s gold!Lol there is a whole lotta 20 lbs tyees kicking around as well
It’s the same with Halibut. 133 cm fish could be anywhere from 55 to 75 lbs Girth is king!Last year, I was lucky enough to get a fair number of fish we kept in the 78-80cm range.

I remember this, and I don't think he was joking. It was $1000 for this unicorn fish.... The thread ran for quite some time and if I recall no winning fish was produced..... Was definitely entertainingWho was the joker who was gonna cough up some dough a couple years ago for a 20lber in the slot? That was a good thread, worth a chuckle. We scooped a 18.61lb bleed out, at 79cm that year.
It was Chasin, Dreams and the guy isn’t a joker, he’s an experienced fisherman and west coaster and seems to know what he’s talking about on pretty much any issue he wades in on. I guess maybe he made a mistake on an issue no big deal.Who was the joker who was gonna cough up some dough a couple years ago for a 20lber in the slot? That was a good thread, worth a chuckle.

Great comment on different size people as well. Personally, I am one of the 80 cm tyees.Last year, I was lucky enough to get a fair number of fish we kept in the 78-80cm range.
