Their scale was off by 6 ounces on the low side. Their scale read 12.10 and 12.11 respectively. I could just cry ! Could have had 3 at one time !

Great fish and memory at least. Great job on those toads!

maybe I'm missing something, but how does adding 6 ounces ( less than half a pound ) make a 12.10 or a 12.2 a 13#?

as a follow up I can see if it were 12pounds 10 ounces how this would work but I think most hand held scales would read 12.1 as 12 point 1 pounds.

12 pounds 10 ounces probably...

That is enough to make you cry. :'( :'( :'(

As I stated in the post above, the fish were 12.10 and 12.11 on their scale. It is a digital scale. The .10 and .11 indicate ounces.

Is that 4 now for Amistad this year? Could have possibly been 5?

I might have made the same mistake. I thought my digital scale was a true digital scale, and thus 12.1 is 12.1 pounds, not 12 pounds 10 ounces. I better check mine, I had two over twelve last year...unfortunately they were during the summer and would not qualify for the program anyway.

Yup, just checked and mine is clearly marked on the face of the scale to weigh in pounds and ounces.

4 turned in, yes. Would have been 8. Three others, two during practice for the open, have been caught. One of them during practice for the open would have been #500 as it was caught two days before the one at Ivie. He let her go back on her bed where he caught her thinking he would possibly catch her again. When he went back she was gone. Was a 14+. Cost him $7,000. He wasn't too happy when informed of this news. All three of these fish were never brought in.
