If we had a well fed 9.0" BG it has a standard weight of 0.62 lb or 9.92 ounces. If we had a standard weight BG that weighed 1 lb 5 oz it will be 11.27" long. A 1 lb 5oz a 9.0" BG would have a Wr (aka Rw or body condition) of 212. Really fat fish have Wr of 100-125 maybe even 130 for fish in exceptional cases such as full of eggs or a really fat fish after a large meal. The BG above does not look to be overly plump.

It might be a good idea to weigh a couple standard weight items with the digital scale to verify that it is correct. Here are some volumes of tap water to weigh to test the digital scale.
1 cup (236ml) of water should weigh 8.3 oz
2 cups of water = 16.6oz and
21 ounces (1 lb 5 oz bgill) will be 2.51 cups(594milliliters) of water
measure out 2.5 cups of water and it should weigh 1 lb 5 oz using your digital scale. We are interested in your test results.
