Pretty good chart to estimate weight...freshwater fish tend to range a bit over average, especially as they fatten up over winter at the GSP. I'll attach a pic from last year of a fat GSP striper.

Dude that thing is fat as crap. Mine did cough up about an 8" shad during the fight. Had that not happened, it might have broke the 10 pound mark haha.
I used that chart to guess my 34 incher at 15 pounds. It wasn't very fat but the minimum is 14 pounds according to that chart and mine wasn't anorexic either. Odd that it shows a minimum of 11 pounds for a 31" fish but Merv weighed it twice on his scale and it gave the exact same reading of 9.81 pounds.
I also used his Boga and of course you can't get a precision reading but it did show between 9.5 and 10 pounds. I checked the stomach of this one, not a thing in it so maybe if it had eaten a big breakfast before I hooked it it would have been 10-12 pounds.
