Inches verses Pounds

I see posts here that tell of fish weighing 5#, 8# and larger.
When I fish the Green River, I will catch some of my largest Trout of the year. [18" to 22"]
I have no idea what they weigh because I don't take a scale with me and I don't know of many fishing scales that are accurate enough to use.
Why don't more people list the size of their fish instead of the weight.
I can relate to the size of a fish and believe it to be accurate much more than guessing the weight.
So how about everyone else.
Would you rather see posts giving weight or length?

We should keep this weight/ length comparison at the top of the page.
I would agree with the accuarcy of it.
There will always be that special fish that will weigh more than the average, but your comparison looks to be very accurate to me.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
