Average fish price?

[Bob The Wincest Bear]

anyone know of a list or guide that gives the average fish price? pretty much teh only thing i cant find a guide about

[BonPadre]

I know some tried to do it... but many were dug onto the limbos of the forums...
Roughly from higher price per Kg/lbs (I may have some mistakes here and there... but that may give you a rough idea...)

- Walleye
- Some pretty neat small trouts. like golden one from Colorado, and red band one from Oregon, though not really "targetable" as they come into a mix with other trouts... they pay very well
- Pikes
- Splake in Alberta
- Trouts (but they vary in price depending of variety)
- Bass (also some slight variations Spotted, Largemouth, smallmouth, peaco_cks)
- Some salmons are higher than others
- Then you have many of those "monsters" that are closer to the 100 credits per kg mark like many fishes in California (I think stripped bass comes there... too near the 100 mark... nit sure though)
- Panfishes can vary between 120 credits to just under 100 credits per kg
________________________________

Under 100credits per Kg
- Gar should be under 100 credits but nit sure of that, honnestly never went for that one calculation
- Then you have a part of "mid" fishes, that are usually not prime targets in game, like American shad, yellow perch, some smaller carps, Buffaloes... they could go between 50 to 85 credits per kg
- Finally you'l find the catfishes between 35 to 50 I believe.. but honnestly again I have not gone through calculations on later steps... I'm not really a bobber angler and cats are not my cup of tea... so while they can get very heavy and hence pay nicely for each single catch and fill your net quick... they are usually the low end pay as far as credits per weight.

Hope that helps... so yeah early on.... light catfishes, depending of price of bait and a too small net are not really worth a lot... so early on, Bass, NY pays nicely because pikes and Walleye...

yea i was grinding small bass in texas because of how much they gave when you were full but it was painful, and right now im trying to do walleye since i want to do trout next

but i do have to say as little as catfish pay they are pretty damn fun because of how quick you hit them and how much of a fight they put up but they weigh so much

Besides that Numb Digger...
I would go a very simple rule so you save yourself a lot of hassle in calculations...
Use a 45 credits per lbs average for your net.... that will make things very easy for you to understand (damn in Kg that's even easyer to calculate lol... you fools can't do like the vast majority of the world [total pun intended and with a big laugh and joke... nothing serious please])

So that way you can quickly know if your net is large enough to handle daily fee and give you incomes... make that rule higher if you tend to use baits though... you have to pay for them and the lost ones...

Some higher end lakes will have that 45 credits average mark, as fishes are so heavy, it would be way too unbalanced if they were paying better... (think of White Moose lake Alberta / San Hawking Delta California / Alaska too depending on targets may be nearing that too / the biggies from the Brackish waters in Florida)

While some lower end lakes will give you better prices per lbs... Like Falcon lake Oregon (I love that place) / Rocky lake Colorado / Neyrrin River as long as you go mainly bass and small pikes... but one nice catfish, and boom your average income per lbs drops drastically / Emerald Lake NY

So on all those smaller end places you are fine with a somewhat smaller net... but as soon as you hit higher places... you need a 150 - 220lbs net... not only because fishes are big, but also as reward per lbs drops, but your daily fee increases...
