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 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
