    Default Striped Bass Length to Weight Chart

    Found this on the net:


    Striped Bass Length to Weight Chart
    A = length and B = girth


    Bass - Pike - sunfish - walleye length to weight formula is on page bottom
    Striped Bass Length to Weight Chart
    Age - Weight - length chart
    This chart is to approximate the weight and age of your striper
    Length X length X length /

    Age Your Fish
    Notes: Average size is just the median of both weights. It is more realistic maximum in the
    late fall after the striper has fattened itself up for the winter. Feeding will slow
    when water temperature drops below 50 degrees, so in the spring
    the minimum weights are then more accurate. This of course
    does not apply to a roe laden female. There has been much discussion
    about the varients in weights. There are many factors that
    contribute to weight or lack there of. A good digital flat scale will put less
    stress on the fish than than those lip grip types and are more accurate.
    A measurement should be taken while the fish is on a flat surface from the tip of the nose to
    the outer most point of the tail.
    There is no substitute for an accurate scale but to estimate the weight
    of your striped bass the formula is thus.



    Length X length X length /
    1,950.
    For example: a 30 inch striped bass weighs ~ 14 pounds
    30" X 30" X 30" /
    1,950 = 14



    Use your calculater and the above formula for a fair approximation Margin of error up to 6%
    The Formula for following species is thus
    Bass weight = (length x length x girth) / 1,200
    pike weight = (length x length x length) / 3,500
    sunfish weight = (length x length x length) / 1,200
    trout weight = (length x girth x girth) / 800
    walleye weight = (length x length x length) / 2,700
    For example, you catch a 16 inch walleye. Using the formula for walleye above: (16 x 16 x 16) / 2,700 = 1.5
    pounds. Your walleye weighs approximately 1.5 pounds.
