length x girth x girth ÷ 800 = Weight.

I would that metalhead is around 8 or 9 pounds.

Cant help you with the wieght but that is a beautiful fish

That 29 inch torpedo steelie I'd say  between 7 - 8 lbs. Can't see how wide it is.

 I'd second that 8-9 pound range.  Beatiful fish though. I've had my fair shair of tussles in that area too.

10 pounds good fish and good eatin

[JimP]

I'd guess right at about 8 pounds.

For most "normal looking steelhead", a buddy and I figured out that once they're over 25 inches and less than 34"  - it's a pretty close guess that you can drop the first digit of the length (from 25-29) and replace a 3 with a 1 for the 30+'ers and it's close to the pound weight. i.e. your 29 inch fish probably weighs close to 9 pounds.

Once they get over 34" they tend to broaden. I've seen quite a few fish that weighed in the high teens that were only 34 - 36 inches long.

I like 7-8lbs. He's not huge in the shoulders but he sure looks good. Nice steel
