The 2012 Tuna season is well upon us in the Northeast.
If you are like us, guessing weight of tuna is just that, a guess.
How many times do we think the fish is bigger on the rod and once landed in the boat?
The fish is always smaller! I know, a bummer, but fun just the same!
Bragging rights aside, I have put together a simple chart based on a much more complicated MidAtlantic Fisheries chart.
I offer it to you as a way to quickly estimate the weight with a bit more basis than just a hunch.
One of the humorous aspects of the chart is the reference to the length of human arm and leg.
I hope you find this useful.
As I say on the chart-these are estimates!
Don't come back to me with lots of scientific data to argue.
Use it for fun and hopefully help in better estimating fish for that one of a lifetime!
