What classifies as a door mat?

[Joey Dah Fish]

My off the beat take is this. An average door opening is roughly 32" wide as is the threshold. mist door mats are slightly smaller or about the same size as the door opening so for argument sake I classify a 30" fluke a door mat regardless of weight. I weighed my back door mat on a Boga it came up 6 lbs. so what do you all think?

I think the standard is 10 pounds or more.

So you say it's weight? What if you have hollow doors?

A 30 " Fluke will will probably weigh in at 10 lbs if not more most of the time
When it comes to using the term Doormat for Fluke weight off fish must be at least 10 lbs. In my book there is no rounding off. If I had a fish that was 9 pounds 15 oz I would use say it was a big ass Fluke but would not be able to call it a Doormat

10 lbs and over.

I would stick a 6 oz sinker in it re weigh and call it a door mat

10 pounds. Which by the way I have not caught. I've had a couple of nine plus but no 10, so no door mat for me.

I concur. I've been close twice......but the scale doesn't lie. ugh.. The same can be said for running a 3:00:00 ( ugh ) or a 2:59:59 ( wow )marathon, ounces or seconds make for bragging rights. lol Dennis

At least 300 pounds.

In my book, you have to weigh the fish on a accurate scale to say for sure. No rounding up. A fish that looks 10 pounds aint a doormat unless it's been weighted. A dedicated angler would require this. It's not a guesstimate.
