Quote:UNUSUAL WEIGHT FOR SIZE: Perhaps the bass downstream of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation have different densities than those elsewhere, or the formulas designed to figure out fish weight can’t account for local variations, but what’s puzzling WDFW and local bass anglers is that Kenyon’s fish is somehow heavier than other fish its size.
It is just Magically heavier?
They say "it has an unusually bigger belly"
But wouldn't that play a part in the weight-girth formula they did? Actually they did 3 of them and the biggest came out to 7 1/2 pounds. If the belly was bigger, the girth would be bigger...so there comment made no sense.
How can they judge a frozen/thawed out fish to the same fish when it was actually caught? It would have to effect the actual weight. I'd feel better had he turned it in that day.
Quote:FROZEN STATUS CLEARED UP: Underwood says the only way they could disqualify the bass is because it was frozen, which Kenyon readily admits occurred.
The application for state records reads, “Frozen fish will not be accepted for weighing.”
“But this fish was thawed before weighing,” Underwood notes.
Oh well...congratulations dude....
