Can anyone give me a weight estimate on this fish? 2025
Aiden Aguirre reply :
I forget to get any measurements on this bass. I know it's really hard to guess weight purely through picture, but does anyone have a guess?

scaleface reply :
Nice healthy looking bass. I'm going to guess its pushing 5 lbs.
soflabasser reply :
Welcome to the forum. It appears to be a nice sized northern strain largemouth bass. Hard to give you a exact estimate since you did not give length and girth measurements of this bass. Next time measure the length and girth to get a close estimate by using the following formula; Length X Length X Girth / 1200 = estimated weight of bass in pounds.
For example 20 length X 20 length X 15 girth / 1200=5 pounds estimated weight
If this is too much work then I suggest you buy a good scale to easily weigh your fish.

I would say 4 - 5 lbs. Nice fish. ????

Nice fish. One trick is cut 2 pieces of fishing line for length and girth and use formula @soflabasser gave you. I'd guess #4.5-5.25
Glaucus reply :
Around 5lbs. It's not even close to being in the 3s.

Tennessee Boy reply :
Welcome to the forum. Nice fish. My thinking on estimating the size of a fish it that it's unfair to the fish to underestimate it's weight so I always try to error on the high side.
So lets just call it an 8 pounder ????
Aiden Aguirre reply :
Caught this fish pausing a whopper plopper right above a grass flat. And thanks for all the input!

Nice bass for your region. Impossible to guesstimate the length from the photo, poor angle.

Its a lot easier to judge the weight on this photo than a lot of others . Hes not long-arming the fish .

I agree. Guessing that Aiden is near 13 years old & probably a little over 5 feet tall, his hands make that look like a solid 5 lb fish. The belly isn't huge (on the fish, not Aiden), but it isn't skinny either and the length pushes the weight well above the 3 lb range. I think he can call it a 5lber even and not be accused of telling a fish story.

I am actually about 6 ft in this picture. Hopefully that makes it a good 5? thanks for the input!
N Florida Mike reply :
5 pounds

Tall with a young face, that combination will do you well over the rest of your life.
Knowing you are even taller than I thought just makes the fish bigger, so it is a no doubt 5 lb in my opinion. Congratulations again.
MassYak85 reply :
If you are 6ft I'd say a solid 5lbs for sure. Nice fish!
Heartland reply :
Nice Fish, I would wage a guess between 4 - 5 lbs, probably on the heavier side.

LOL. I lost count of meeting people who caught ''8,9,10 or more pounders'' just to see a picture of a bass that is under 24 inches with not much girth. I just smile and tell them they caught a nice fish and walk away letting them believe what they caught is a trophy bass. That is why it is best to weight the fish on a decent quality scale or at the very least get a length and girth measurement for a close estimate. There will always be doubts on the size of a bass if a person does not get good measurements.

Thank you @stratoliner92. The bass in your avatar is the type of bass I like to fish for. The line measuring technique you mentioned is very good and every bass fisherman has fishing line so there should be no excuse when it comes to getting the length and girth measurements.

Thanks so much!
Bluebasser86 reply :
I'd guess around 4.5, time to buy a scale!
kenmitch reply :
Nice fish! I'd guess it's around a 5lb'r.
J Francho reply :
Looks like a Conesus bass - Big body small mouth. Means it is well fed and grew fast. You can safely call it a 4.5. Get a decent scale!

Just say you're 6'5" in the picture. That'll make the fish 7 lb. easy.
Seriously though, 4-4.5 lber for sure
Darren. reply :
Welcome aboard!
I'm with those guessing in the 5 pound range. Very nice catch, Aiden.
dodgeguy reply :
I gotta go around 5 . Nice fish dude.
JoshFromBolo reply :
Either a little under 5 or right at it! Nice fish man
FCPhil reply :
I would say 4-5 pounds but fish always look smaller in pictures than in person so I’ll say just over 5 pounds.
Nice catch!
Sooner Steve reply :
Nice bass, I'd say a decent upper 5lb fish. If it is 6, it's right at 6, but its certainly in the mid 5 range.
rod snapper reply :
nice fish by the way(21lber) but i suggest keeping a tiny tape measure in your pocket when fishing(which is always).
