does anyone know how to get the weight of a barbel with its measurements... i know it will only be a rough estimate, but would still be better than a guestimation... i know there's an equation for bass, any one know if there's one for barbel?

You take a scale, weigh it then measure its length, then the equation is as follows:
Weight X Length/Length = Weight...

basically if your head can fit in it's mouth you have one that beats mona lisa. It's about all that's important to me.

Die baber wat ek gevang het was te lank vir my arms, maar ek kon darem wys hoe groot sy oe was deur my hande bymekaar te hou en my vingers oop te maak.

You calculate as follows:

Dit gan nooit oor hoe groot baber jy al gevang het nie dit gan oor die een wat al klein kinderkies en honde gevang het en wat met 'n staal dropper deur die kop vas gepen was toe hy die eerste keer gevang en 5 keer met 'n 9mm gekiet was en nogsteeds weg gekom het. Die een wat se kop net net in 'n krywa sal pas. Wat menigte hengelaars al gehaak het en gesien het die ding het sulke geel oee soos 'n leeu.
ek soek daai baber wat rondswem met die staal dropper.
