Dhufish weight?

How much would a 1.2metre dhufish weigh approximately?  I caught one on Monday but don't have any scales.

But that is a HUUUUUGE horse.

 

If I was to throw a blind number I would say 22kg.

 

Trophy fish for sure.

im sure ive seen on here a few times that when dhueys are 1 metre long they are pretty much right on 20Kg if its a healthy fish so i reckon yours is prob gonna go up to around 25kg great catch chuck up a photo if youve got one

Tried to post a pic

but will have to work on it later today.  It needs to be resized and remove exif data (for obvious reasons).  I can assure you sea-kem it did happen but I am just shit when it comes to stuffing around with computers.  If I manage to put the photo up will you promise not to look at the GPS positions?

22kg...

Wed, 2015-10-14 16:41

 ...just to add confusion, mine was 102cm.  So it's all over the place. Spawning condition, amount/type of diet, etc. To put it another way, are all 6 foot tall blokes the same weight?

Our last 3 Club Records

Wed, 2015-10-14 23:24

I'm the Records Manager for the Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club so have some statistics. The last 3 records for Dhufish are: 107cm length + 85cm girth = 20kg, 110cm length + 91.5cm girth = 24kg and our current record was 110cm length + 89.5cm girth for 24.64kg.

Based on those, Christ only knows what a 120cm one would weigh, but unless it was unusually skinny it would be friggen huge!!!
