59cm across the wings. We gave it 8-10lb at the time. but I seem to remember a similar sized fish recently going over 12lb.
Has anyone got a good conversion chart

Donal was saying that any painted Ray he gets over 59cm he gets the scales because it's usually over/about 10lb.
Cracking fish though :mrgreen:

Using this info from www.ices.dk/marineworld/fishmap/ices/pdf/thornback.pdf



The relationships between disc width (D) and total length (L), and total length and total weight (W) are given
by the following relationships (unpublished data):
D = 0.6930 L - 0.2480
W = 0.0042 * L 3.1129

D=59cm measured on the day

4337.7g
aprox 9.6lb

Would that sound right?
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a physicist not a marine biologist.
I'm only learning :-)
