6.27 pds. st records  st record- 17.27 pd=36.30 points.... if i did that point system right.

Got my first one for the smallmouth category;

3.56lbs / state record 8 lbs = .445 x 100 = 44.5 I needed to convert from pounds and ounces to just pounds to be one the same sheet of music with the other two posters.

Here is my 1st smallie for this year. 4.5 lb/8.5 lb PA state recordx100

equals 52.94.

My second smallmouth entry = 4.31lbs / 8lbs Maine state record = 0.53875 x 100= 53.88 Sorry Math was not matching your weights because I was doing pounds and ounces and you guys are recording in pounds.

hahah not much but i haaaaaaaaad to get one on the board 2lbs 8 oz lmb hahaha. state record is 11lbs 4 oz-  after calculation comes out to 22 pts WAAAWHOOO!

Upgraded to this 4lb 10 oz today with Mr. Fishsticks taking the picture

4lb 10 oz and state record is 11 4oz so bumps me up to 41pts

How did you get the 41?

Is it everyfish you catch after the one you caught the previous time you add on as long as it weighs more?

pretty much the 2lb 8 oz fish i caught score is gone and you come up with a new score for a new fish. the new fish weighed 4lbs 10oz so you have to the do the calculation all over to find your new score . convert ounces to lbs. ex 4lbs 10 oz (74 oz or 4.65lbs) divide that by the state record which is 11lbs 4 oz (180 oz or 11.25lbs)  4.65/11.25(100)= 41.1111

that help?

Yeah, so just convert the weight into ounces and round off to the second decimal.

    So you can only submit one fish?

yes the biggest. but if you catch a 5 lber today and a 7 lber tomorrow now your 7lber is your score. obviously because its the biggest that you have caught within the contest time period so far. bigger the fish=the more points you get.

You aren't just telling me this so I can have one fish and everybody else has got 20 are you? (JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks for the help man! That really helped me out a lot.
