Thanks for that Hardb8. Do ya reackon it would be aimed more towards wild fish or impoundment fish (considering alot of impoundment bass are quite fat compared to wild ones)?

cheers,

Tim.

I know its only a guide, but its way out!

time of year, location, local food chain...there are a lot of variables that will affect the weight of the fish. I can remember a session not long ago where I caught a 36cm Bass that was 180 grams heavier then a 42cm Bass, figure that one out.

Also a few weeks back I caught a couple of 51cm Bass on the Clarence River and they would of been struggling to give the 1.5kg mark a nudge.

Heres another example...I caught a 46cm Bass at Lake Macdonald and she was fat, big shoulders, big gut, I am sure you get the idea...she came in at 1.61kg. A far cry from the 1.9kg in the guide.

But as its been said, its only a guide...even though its a bad one.
