you know what?....at the point of release when you watch that fish swim away is when you feel like you tworeached a common bond. you were happy fighting and landing the fish, and the fish felt good because you let it live. you will do good in life .geez.......i think i'm going to cry.:reallycrying

David_H (5/9/2008)According to this length to weight chart:

http://www.rodnreel.com/fishcharts/f....asp?FishID=77

Your estimate of 9# is if anything a tad low, but pretty close none the less. Congrats on your fish, ashamed you didn't have a camera handy. You did the right thing letting her back and I know that you and your wife will have an image of that fish etched into your memories anyways.

actually at the top of that page you can input your length in inches and it gives you an estimated weight if his was 29 inches like he said then the estimated weight is 9.18lbs. thats just the websites estimate nice spec by the way

I've caught MANY trout over 30" long, and almost everyone has weighed under 8 lbs (one only weighed 5.5 @ 31"). It is really all about the time of year. My heaviest fish was 28" inches and almost 9 lbs. You just never know with trout, but still a great catch none the less.
