With all the guessing of the fish size from Photo's. It has to be hard to tell in my opinion because of all the variables. How close the fish is, lighting, how the fish is held. I can't see how anyone can accurately guess the correct size. Thoughts? Here are two examples.

Both are good fish! I can tell its spotted musky. Best way is close up computer and measure guy's finger between jointed is one inch then measure the fish!
I remebered an old In Fisherman stuff did measure world record walleye is not suppose to be 25 lbs!

I guess I didn't post my question correctly. My purpose was to ask how one can guess how long a fish is in a picture. ILmuskie gave the formula for doing so. Thank you. But looking at the to photo's, to me the second one looks bigger, when in fact the first fish had 3 more inches in girth than the second fish. When I looked closer at the photo"s the markings on the fish are the same . It is the same fish caught four months apart. Taking the LXGXG dividedx 800 the first photo fish is more than 10lbs heaver but does seem to show up in the photo to me. It wasn't my purpose for people to guess the length when you could already see what length they were. Anyway thanks for the post IL muskie
