The average salmon weighs more than the average rat. Am I missing something?

> The average salmon weighs more than the average rat. Am I missing something?

an average rat typically weighs less than 1 pound, while an average salmon weighs several pounds.

The chart shows the opposite weight relationship.

Almost all game fish weight more than rats.

Do you live somewhere that game fish are particularly small, or rats are particularly large, or have you never been fishing?

I’m pretty sure they’re expressing confusion at the chart stating that salmon are lighter than rats.

I do not live somewhere that game fish are particularly small. That is why the chart showing salmon weighing less than rats is strange. Did you see the chart?
