asdve23rveavwa Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 If you don't use a scale then don't answer the question! Bingo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 If you have a cheap scale and wonder about it's accuracy, you can always test it with a gallon milk jug full of water...it should weigh about 8 lbs....8.35 to be exact. A onion or potato bag is helpful for fish you intend to release. How much would it weigh if it was still full of milk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I picked up the 30 lb version of one of these probably over 20 years ago when I lived on Lake Ontario for the derbies, still as accurate as ever, you can guessimate to 2 oz on the scale, never any surprise when I got to an official weigh in. http://www.chatillon-scales.com/Our%20Products/Chatillon%20Weighing%20Scales/fish%26game_product/IN_fishscale.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your scale is broken Billy Bob... I just weighed a gallon of our water and it was 10 lbs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I think your scale is broken Billy Bob... I just weighed a gallon of our water and it was 10 lbs ! Now it's all coming together.....Must be full of heavy metals... Or next time use a US gallon... after all everyone here on this thread is using pounds not kilograms...
