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 1 300~427
Day 2 480~607
Day 3 600~727
Day 4 700~827

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? 😛

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%
