Where did the +15 come from? Is that part of some documented formula and where can I find it for future references?

Checked it with a scale a number of times, i use it, kirk kirkland used it and i got it from him, chris moody uses it. Been +/-10 pounds every time i have checked it with a scale. Within 5 or 10 pounds one way or another on 100 to 200 pound fish is good enough for me.
If i was messing with igfa records or such i would consider a scale able to weight them but for my everyday trips its really just too much extra to fool with and its easier on the fish too.
