fishing user avatarCory Doras reply :

fishing user avatarFrisbie385 reply : 

Might be pushing 2lbs. Pictures are deceiving

fishing user avatarsoflabasser reply : 

Did you catch this bass from private or public waters?


fishing user avatarScott F reply : 

It’s nice to see a picture of someone holding a big fish that isn’t pushing it at the camera! Whatever it weighs, nice catch. 


fishing user avatarCroakHunter reply : 

Looks to be about 24-26 inches long so I'm going with 9.46lbs


fishing user avatarStephen B reply : 

Id say around 7-8 lbs. I don't think its over 8lbs but you never know as its hard to determine length and girth for a picture. Nevertheless, great fish!

Nice! My guess would be 7.5 - 8.5. I caught one around that size recently but couldn't get a picture. 


fishing user avatarBass_Fishing_Socal reply : 

I think about 3 lbs top.

Private.  My largest public water fish was around 6 to 7.

I don't ever push them towards the camera!  Thanks man.

 

 

Thanks everyone!  My guess was between 8 or 9.  I've held another 7 recently and she was a bit heavier.

 

I'll measure the three fingers supporting her belly later and get a good length estimate.

Seems like the owner of the pond does a good job at keeping his bass well fed. Won't be surprised if you catch a +10 out of that pond. Congratulations on catching a nice bass, I would say it could be over 24 inches long and maybe in the high 7 pound range and possibly over 8 pounds. Next time bring a scale or a tape measure to measure its length and girth to get a more accurate weight.


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

Estimates; 24” LMB = 8.6 lbs,  26” LMB is 11 lbs.

Nice bass.

Tom

PS, use your line to measure the bass by cutting it to length, another for girth; LxLxG/1200 = weight. 

Unknown girth =75% length avg LMB.

Pushing 7


fishing user avatarOCdockskipper reply : 

The fish in the picture below weighed an even 8lbs.  You & I are of similar build and in both pictures, we kept the fish in front of us instead of pushing it forward.  The head size, lengths & girth of these fish look very close, so I believe you can call it an 8 with a clean conscience.

fishing user avatarBoomstick reply : 

I am going to say 6-7, but pictures can be deceiving so it's really tough to tell.

 

here's a trick to help you out. Compare it against your index finger to your elbow. I know that for me (6'3") that runs exactly 18.5". So it's much easier to estimate the say 5" over that 18.5" than the entire length.

 

I figured this out when I caught both the largest bass and largest smallie of my life last summer on a rowboat and had no scale.

I wish I had thought of cutting the line! I'll remember it for next time.

Solid 9. Way to rock a Ga bass. Home of the World Record....


fishing user avatarsdsc357 reply : 

8lbs 14oz


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

I'd guess around 7.5-8.

 

I caught one that looked to be similar in size several years ago that was maybe a bit thinner that was 24.5" long, 14" around, and 7.51 pounds. I'm 6' 220 for reference
