CHALLENGE!!!How much do they weigh? 2024


fishing user avatarCJ reply : 

Okay, There's been alot of good threads going on about how much fish weigh. I thought I would start a thread to see how good some of our members are at weight guestimation! I know down to the ounce how much each of these fish weighed. I believe you will see how deceiving a photo can be. So just for kicks! Take a shot at how much each of these fish weighed.

Sorry my photography skills aren't the best.

fishing user avatarEddie Munster reply : 

Nice looking fish but I'm not going out on that limb. It's not that I don't want to be wrong; I just don't want to come off the wrong way.

The guesses here on the forums are kind of odd and inconsistent.

Assuming the female holding #3 is not 6' tall, I'd guess #3 is the smallest of the bunch (weight and size wise) 20" or less & < 5 lbs. The rest are hard to venture a guess without knowing how big of a guy you are.


fishing user avatarpaul. reply : 

1 - 7.6 lbs.

2 - 8.1 lbs.

3 - 6.5 lbs.

4 - 9.3 lbs.

oh wait, i'm getting ahead of myself.  that's y'all's future fishin' trips. ;D

teria, i deduct 1 pound from your catch for not smiling.  could you please act a little more excited when you are holding a nice fish?  smile girl, that's a good 'un.   8-)


fishing user avatarPaul Roberts reply : 

This is fun. No, I'm not guessing, except to say all fish are over 4lbs -I think.

Hawgcaller, do you have an inside line here??


fishing user avatarCJ reply : 

Eddie, you can't offend me. Please give it a shot. It'll be fun.

Hawgcaller, your too kind! I told Teria the same thing. The problem that day was she left her shades at the house (rookie mistake), the sun was frying her eyes. We gave her a spare hat to help out.

Okay, I'll help ya'll out a little bit. I am 5' 11" and weigh 150lbs. soakin' wet.

Wasn't afraid of offending you; I'm with Paul Roberts in that I believe them to all be over 4lbs and most over 5lbs but then again, I believe mine to be as large as those you have pictured.  :P  That's what I meant by come off sounding the wrong way and that guessing seems to be inconsistent.  8-)


fishing user avatarEddie Munster reply : 

BTW, I'm guessing your size to be approx 6'2" or just over and about 190-200lbs. Lemme know.

Not tonight. :)

I'm still waiting for someone to get close to atleast 3 of them. ::)

Heck, I guess I'm gonna have to give something to whoever can get the closest! How bout three brand new jigs or a brand new Rapala!

CJ


fishing user avatarKozak reply :

That's it, I'm changing all my guesses

1: 3.5lbs

2: 4lbs

fishing user avatarMuad Dib reply : 

ok here are the guesses of the fish to the ounce!!!!

fish by weight

picture 2. 5.3 lbs

picture 1. 4.9 lbs

picture 3. 4.8 lbs

picture 4. 4.4 lbs

its either this. or its a trick question and they all way the same weight and number 3 could be the biggest!


fishing user avatarsenko_77 reply : 

1: 7.2

2: 6.11

3: 6:15

4: 8.3


fishing user avatarMattlures reply : 

The first and the last look the biggest but he is sticking them out HARD. 2 and 4 look the smallest but its the picture angle. They are all pretty close. probably within a pound of eachother and I still say her fish is not the smallest.


fishing user avatarEddie Munster reply : 

CJ, how big are you and how much do you weigh? Can't guess without knowing that!   ;)   Was I close with 6'2" 190-200lbs?

No one's close to three of them yet? I guess I was right about the inconsistent guessing.  8-)

fishing user avatarCJ reply : 

1. 5 lbs. even

2. 7 lbs. even

3. 3 lbs. 5 oz.

4. 5 lbs. 9 oz.

I took the difference of each guess/fish and added up the total score from the 4 fish. The lowest score won.

gary77, was the closest, on the average, to each fish's weight. Nice "feeble" attempt gary!

PM sent.

CJ


fishing user avatarJayDub reply : 

Hey, I was within about a pound on all of them.  Good enough for me!  :)


fishing user avatarTeria reply : 

Thanks for all the compliments on #3 fish. I sure thought it was bigger than 3lb 5oz. I think the scales were broke!  ;)


fishing user avatarPaul Roberts reply : 

Thanks CJ. That was fun.


fishing user avatarEddie Munster reply : 

This was INDEED fun; with the wide variety of guesses and the actual numbers, I feel alot better about my fish now.  ;)

Again; great fish.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply :
