Notes:
Average size is just the median of both weights. It is more realistic maximum in the late fall after the striper has fattened itself up for the winter.
Feeding will slow when water temperature drops below 50 degrees, so in the spring the minimum weights are then more accurate. This of course does not apply to a roe laden female. There has been much discussion about the varients in weights. There are many factors that contribute to weight or lack there of. A good digital flat scale will put less stress on the fish than than those lip grip types and are more accurate.
A measurement should be taken while the fish is on a flat surface from the tip of the nose to the outer most point of the tail.
There is no substitute for an accurate scale but to estimate the weight of your striped bass the formula is thus.
Length X length X length /1,950.
For example: a 30 inch striped bass weighs ~ 14 pounds
30" X 30" X 30" /1,950 = 14
Use your calculator and the above formula for a fair approximation

The Formula for following species is thus:
- Bass weight = (length x length x girth) / 1,200
- Pike weight = (length x length x length) / 3,500
- Sunfish weight = (length x length x length) / 1,200
- Trout weight = (length x girth x girth) / 800
- Walleye weight = (length x length x length) / 2,700
For example, you catch a 16 inch walleye. Using the formula for walleye above: (16 x 16 x 16) / 2,700 = 1.5 pounds. Your walleye weighs approximately 1.5 pounds.
