fishing user avatarSeanW reply : 

Im thinking its in the 6lb class. The way you are holding the fish makes it difficult to really be sure. For instance take a look at my avatar. Then just use the belly hand to balance the fish a bit closer to the meaty part of her tail. This will display the fish's natural build better.

   Nice fish, very healthy.


fishing user avatarShane J reply : 

Looks like a purdy 5 pounder to me. Nice fish!


fishing user avatarOHIO reply : 

I would say around four pounds. Nice fish!


fishing user avatartjc76 reply : 

Between 3 and 4

Three and a half to four pounds.  Purdy lookin fish.   


fishing user avatarBryce C reply :

fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Just over 4#'s. Beautiful fish and some nice looking territory.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

<4, probably around 3.  Not 6, for sure.


fishing user avatarGrey Wolf reply : 

Four lbs.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

3.5 - 4lbs


fishing user avatarJigfishn10 reply : 

3-4 lbs, either way, it's a very nice fish.


fishing user avatarFL_Sharpshooter reply : 

Looks like it's right at 4.


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

3.75 to 4.25 lbers. Nice fish from a beautiful spot.

definitely agree. Might be 4 though, nice fish. Your hands are just too big in perspective to the fish and the length isn't 21-22 inches in my best guestimate. But, while i am commenting on how it is not a 5 pounder, you are basking in the glory of catching fish while i stay at home for my finals.


fishing user avatarindymusky reply : 

nice fish. id say  a heavy 4. The way your holding it tho it could be a 4 or a 6. It doesnt really give it justice


fishing user avatarfarmpond1 reply : 

mmm...I'll guess 4 lbs and maybe some change.


fishing user avatarskey44 reply : 

any measurements? I'd say 4#. You could definitely hold it to look like 6# though :)


fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

I like the color of that fish. That's a pretty area you are fishing too. If your four fingers are about 3 inches across we could be looking at an 18 inch fish which would generally make it under 4 lbs unless she just had a monstrous girth which doesn't appear to be the case here. If your hand is wider than that she could be 20 inches and definitely in the 4 lb range.


fishing user avatarCAdeltaLipRipper reply : 

im gonna range that within 4 to 5 pounds  :) nice fish


fishing user avatarevrgladesbasser reply : 

3-3.5 would be my guess, doesnt look like she made 4 yet


fishing user avatarGLADES reply : 

That bass looks a little thin so I would guess 4-4.5 lb

Fattened up, 6-7 lbs


fishing user avatarBig-O reply : 

Appears 4 to 4.5 and great photo too  WTG

fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

Nice fish !

I dunno.... I'd say it's somewhere between 1, and 13 lbs :)

Hey I did have 1 little devious thought though....

I bet if somebody posted a nice (lets just say 5lb'ish) fish, but said, "Sorry, I didn't have a scale... Wanna' take a guess" ?

And, with everybody knowing it really is a nice 5lb'ish fish, they all said, "Oh.... maybe 1 or 2 lbs"...... ::)

.........how long do you think it would take, for the OP to get a scale ? ::);)

For myself, a scale + a back-up or two, and a camera + a back-up, or two, are as critical, and important, as my fishing rods themselves.

Here's my little Pelican case {waterproof, shock proof, dust-proof, heat insulated... I LOVE these things} that goes with me on EVERY fishing trip, without exception. I also carry a couple disposable film cameras in my tackle bag, and two Berkley digital scales. The scale I keep in my Pelican though, is a Salter, which has been certified by the Dept of Weights Measures.

Peace,

PS, Even more important than everybody else knowing how big your catch was.... Is YOU knowing how big your catch was ! Heck, what if you go out and catch your PB.... and then you can't even count it !!!


fishing user avatarNick reply : 

20.294 inches and 4.437 pounds...just an approximation


fishing user avatarGrey Wolf reply : 

He must not have liked our estimates.
