Here is the Wr chart I use for smaller bluegills. Fish length is expressed in whole numbers in a vertical column on the left side, while fractional lengths (in eighths of an inch) are displayed horizontally across the top.

So using your fish as an example, we caught a BG that measures 5.5" long, and weighs 2.5 ozs.

Reading the chart, we find a standard weight for a BG of that length is 1.95 ozs. So divide the weight of your fish 2.5 ozs, by 1.95 ozs and we get a tad over 128%.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
