Default Bassfishin.com Tournament - Central region

Central region contest. Who's states include:

South Dakota
Nebraska
Kansas
Colorado
Utah
Wyoming
Iowa

Large mouth, spotted bass, and small mouth are all counted.

Since we can't all use the same scale, you'll use this the formula: length x length x girth ÷ 1200, to make it fair. You have to have a picture of the fish next to a measuring tape showing length, and girth.

Biggest fish takes bragging rights!

Good luck everyone!

I know it doesn't count because I don't have pictures of the measurements, but here it is anyway. 6lb 0oz on the scale, 20.5" length, 15.0" girth. The formula gives a 5.25 (5lb 4oz) result for these measurements. See pictures and story in this thread.

For whatever it's worth, the weight calculator found here comes up with 6.18 pounds for the above measurements.
