I did quite a bit of length/weight research a couple of years ago. The long and short of it (pun intended) is that you can take the length, add one, and that's your cat's approximate weight. So your 26"ers by this rule would be 7 pounders. But just as in humans, horses and hounds, weights can vary a lot. Were they fat and round or thin and stringy? Well, you get the idea. Most fish will weigh the most just before the spawn and the least after. Just one codicil: they weigh more when there is no scale handy

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
