Default What weight?

Click the image to open in full size.

When i got this fish weighed in, it was with dodgy scales. It said 9lb and i have always thought it weighed more. Reckon its 9lb spot on? Looks bigger to me!!

Certainly looks heavier to me.

Just a thought; if you still have the scales, could you not work out with a known weight what the scales are out by and then back calculate the true weight.

I agree, definitely a double! Mint condition - lovely fish.
