What is an approximate weight. It’s 51inches. Don’t know the girth.

Congrats! Looks kinda thin. Spawned out. My estimate would be 32-35 lbs.

From what I can see from photos I don’t think that fish makes 30 lbs, I caught a thin 52.5” a few years back, just for kicks we put on a digital scale on the net, lift, subtract net weight..29.25 pounds. So, 27-30 would be my guess… I wouldn’t worry about what it weighed, nice fish!

A really nice fish and photo. GOOD JOB! It can be hard on the fish to get exact length and girth. Again good job!

Like others said without girth hard to say but it is a very nice fish and with a 51in fish like that I would be very proud of it. Congratulations

If you look at all the skin mounts from the 50's, 60's and 70,s around Northern Wisconsin a lot of them are 47"-49" in length and weight in at 27# to 33#. And the old standard was 30#, then with C& R it changed to 50" for that 30# well a lot of 50" are long and thin and are no way close to 30#, but at the same time I know of fish at were killed that 50" 40# every system is different and time of ECT. And for the record I caught a long thin fish in late Oct. and my dad caught a tank of a fish on the first of July. We have to count our blessings.

I'd guess 26-28. generally they weigh a lot less than we think . I've weighed a few and one 54 x 22 was 36-37 lbs on a good scale.. most would think a 54 would be 40 lbs with that girth and it was not.. food for thought...
