The Poll Results are IN

There were a total of 33 entries (for lack of better word). Most folks over-estimated the size of the carp in the previous post. Only a few under-estimated. Two people nailed it right on. A majority of folks said 10-14 lbs (54%), which isn't that much of an over-estimate really.

I think these results were pretty predictable. It's difficult in general to estimate fish size unless you have significant experience holding fish with known weights. It's extremely difficult to size a fish in the water (IMO)... and apparently the same holds true with respect to estimating with only a picture as reference. My own experience is this:
(1) I regularly under-estimate fish in the water;
(2) Pictures can be difficult to deal with, depending on scale references and photo constitution;
(3) I'm pretty good estimating the weight of a fish that I am holding.

Well, interesting poll. Thanks for participating folks.

good write up there. I figured I'd over-estimate on my guess; I just didn't know if you were trying to mess with us.

After looking at all of John's brutes that he catches, I have a pretty good idea that my fish are puny and don't weigh anything near his catches.

Pretty cool experiment. I was wrong. I don't think one can tell from a picture, but I'd bet you cash money that i would have been within a lb had I the chance to hold that chunky bugger. I've weighed enough carp the past few years to be right on with most of my initial estimates.

JP, get to OR and i'll get you hefting a 20 plus lber.
