So one gallon of shrimp tails = how many gallons of whole shrimp? Multiply by 1.5 or 2 or 2.5?? Thanks.

I would have to say that your 2 to 2.5 is pretty close...the heads are large. What did you put on your permit before you concealed them bugs....I try to document as close as I can get to the 1/4 gallon up to 2 or so gallon whole - then 1/2 gal after that - if the 5 gal bucket is mostly full (within an inch or two from the top) I put 5 gallons.

If memory serves correctly, a 5 gallon bucket yields about 2 gallon baggies stuffed full of tails.

That is about what I come up with. I will add that a gallon sized ziplock stuffed with tails will weigh in right at 6lbs of pure heaven. It was good to meet you at the launch tlingitwarrior.

Thanks guys. Good to put a face to the name as well. We had a great trip. About 15 gallons of whole shrimp I figure. No fish, but never really tried too hard. Same with the black bear hunting. If one would have jumped out I would have done the deed. Did take 6 sea otters!

Can't wait to get out again.

So far my shrimp catches for the year total 3/4 of a gallon...but getting better each time.

Jim I think he is talking about killing the otters for fur or what ever. AK natives can do that.
