    Weight of Bluefin tuna via inches

    I know there are numerous weight to inches charts out there for bluefin but I'm interested in finding out some of the actual weights per number of inches that some of the bluefins people have caught on here were.

    Last year we had a 60 incher that weighed 115 pounds. I'm thinking the scale may have been off?

    All depends how they carry their weight.

    Had a 99 inch fish that cored at 404 this winter. Had a 96 inch fish that cored 420.

    Mojo's 54 inch fish yesterday weighed 130. I have had 60 inch fish weigh just over 100, and I have had them weigh 150.

    All depends on if their thick or streamlined.

    This fish was 55" and weighed out at 110 lbs. It was caught in late June last year off Chatham and was stuffed full of sand eels.
