80 cm Spring

[spring fever]

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 lbs

WEEELL! Never accept a fish weight from me unless you see the numbers on the scale and my fingers are nowhere near it!! LOL

I caught one 2 years ago which was 21 lbs and 80 cm.
I would guess average would be 16-18 lbs.

My fish scale is by no means set for legal tender but it is certainly within a couple once’s as I have checked it to known accurate weights. Last summer in Ukee we caught a couple 79/80cm nooks that were pushing 18# again weighed on my scale.

I find 14 to 16 pounds with some slipping to 18ish.

79 cm off texada 2 days ago was 17.6 lbs, according to my likely suspect scale. It was a hefer tho, and definitely got the bonk.

I'm not sure where those online charts get their data from, a 12lb spring at 80cm would be one heck of a torpedo, I would think.

Hot s bunch of 17-19 pounders last year that were 80-85. I swore they were in their 20s but were not

Geeze, 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.

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. We scooped a 18.61lb bleed out, at 79cm that year.

It’s the same with Halibut. 133 cm fish could be anywhere from 55 to 75 lbs Girth is king!

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 entertaining

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.

Great comment on different size people as well. Personally, I am one of the 80 cm tyees.

There was a meme on this from a thread last year, but I can't find it. Showed a tape measure measuring up to 80 cm and every cm mark after was 80 cm as well. So I guess it depends on your interpretation of 80cm.
