80 cm Spring

[Rain City]

There was a meme on this from a thread last year, but I can't find it. Showed a tape measure measuring up to 80 cm and every cm mark after was 80 cm as well. So I guess it depends on your interpretation of 80cm.

That's awesome

I thought an 80 cm fish was in the 16 lb range but was just playing on the internet with length weight tables and most are suggesting 12 to 13 lbs-is this what you guys are finding???

I weighed my 76 cm chinook the other day using bathroom scale and came to 16 lbs. it was a fatty.

80cm Chinook are 15 to 20lber in my experience.

80cm rule is completely ridiculous. Everyone needs to stop this nonsense. Government is irrelevant at this point anyway. How many more fish die because people who don’t know how to release fish have to because they are too big. It’s idiotic at best. No one should be fallowing this ridiculous crap. The Trudeau government thought it up need I say more.

Test no 2, 82cm 15lbs, 89cm 17lbs. Asked one of the local guides here in renfrew, big fat 80cm 18lbs . 20 plus 80cm is a diamond in the rough. I usually don’t mesure and weight fish that often unless they are bigggg, or there is a slot

I think @Chasin' Dreams had a point and I'd still like to see someone at least post some pics of one with a tape and a scale. No need for the big bucks but some bragging rights could be in order. Or not.
