Rules
Comment your guess in pounds.
- Only 1 guess per user
I recently learned requiring an upvote is considered abuse
according to the Steemit FAQ.
- Here's @simplymike's post explaining that
- So no upvote or anything but your comment with a guess
is required to be entered for the share of SBI.- Before you run a contest, you need to read her post...!
- So no upvote or anything but your comment with a guess
However, I will sweeten the pot if you upvote and/or resteem this post.
I have 2 dolphin keyrings to give away.
- You get 1 ticket into a random drawing for upvoting this post.
- You get 1 ticket into another random drawing for resteeming this post.
- You can only win one of the drawings.
If you both upvote and resteem, you will be in both drawings, but can only win once. - You must be willing to get me your address so I can snail mail them to you...
I guess we could use discord's private message for that... ?
I'm still learning about discord...- You are going to want to win one of these nifty keyrings!
- You can only win one of the drawings.
You NEED one of these!!!
Do you ever feel like this ?!?!? π haha

Using a wheelbarrow to move it I will say a 130 lbs. I may be way off but is just a guess. LOL.
Good luck @basicstoliving!!!
I've never had to use a wheelbarrow to move any of my fish !!! haha
Me either, I guess I just ain't doing something right. LOL
I'll be giving away some of his secrets on the followup post to this one, where I announce winners. π
Carp was his main moneymaker.
That was hoop nets and such.
The number that came to my mind was 225 pounds. Pretty close to @nickbuha's guess!
Good luck @myhuntingfishing
