A while back I was chatting with Xkeeper about this game, and they dug around a bit in the game and found these values and I'm realizing I never shared them here where they'd actually be potentially useful:

Required weight to win: Day 1 300607 Day 3 600827

I'm pretty sure most folks running this have a pretty decent idea of their own comfortable ranges for going back to the pier, but potentially helpful for some snap decision calculating odds for some? :P

Great info, thanks!

Based on these ranges and the approximate weight you're given when a marlin is initially caught, I put a quick program together to calculate the odds of winning each tournament for reference:

Florida (300-427)

• <=200 - 0%
• 300 ~ 9.9%
• 400 ~ 76.5%
• 500 - 100%

Hawaii 1 (480-607)

• <=400 - 0%
• 500 ~ 19.4%
• 600 ~ 87.09%
• 700 - 100%

Hawaii 2 (600-727)

• <=500 - 0%
• 600 ~ 9.9%
• 700 ~ 76.5%
• 800 - 100%

Hawaii 3 (700-827)

• <=600 - 0%
• 700 ~ 9.9%
• 800 ~ 76.5%
• 900 - 100%

Interesting to see the numbers.
