Using the Empirical Model in order to estimate the weight of some well known fish was done to see where these fish might possibly stand against the record. The three fish chosen were George Perry’s Record, Paul Duclos’ behemoth, and the bass caught last year by Leaha Trew. The measurements of Perry’s fish are said to have been 32.5 inches in length and 28.5 inches in girth. Measurements of Duclos’ fish were never taken but the California Department of Fish and Game studied the photograph and came up with what they feel to be a good estimate. The length being between 29 and 31 inches and the girth between 29 and 30 inches. The Trew fish was said to measure 29 inches in length and 25 inches in girth. The results are shown in Table 3.
