Forgive Me But... How big do you think this fish is 2024


fishing user avatarbass wrangler569 reply : 

Sorry to do this to you guys but... how big do you think this bass is. I caught it several years ago (if you can't tell by the picture lol) in a pond I used to fish when I was younger. I vaguely remember the fish being in the neighborhood of 23" but I didn't get to weigh it on a scale (I must have left my scale beside my coloring books at home  ;D). I was going through some photos and I found it in amongst my other fishing pictures. So, what do you guys think weight wise.

fishing user avatarDock Master reply : 

    I would say about 6 lbs.  I could be wrong though just a vague guess.


fishing user avataretommy28 reply : 

at 23 inches it is between 5 and 7 pounds. it just depends on fat or skinny, ect.

I do remember that it was FAT. Her sides were bulging out like crazy. She might have been spawning, I caught her in late late may early june


fishing user avataretommy28 reply :

Agree 100%.  Not even close to 5 or 6.


fishing user avatar-HAWK- reply : 

That fish is a solid 2lbs. Not much more. Anyone that guessed 6lbs and up needs an eye exam.


fishing user avatarcart7t reply : 

Smaller than Otis Goodmans 18 1/2lb......er uh.....15lb.....OK, it was slightly smaller........13lb.....I mean 12lb......OK, really it was only 10lb, giant he caught recently in Georgia.   The official state (depending on who you ask) of the world record largemouth bass.  


fishing user avatarbobbyK reply : 

Based on the DT6, I would guess the fish is a DT34 or DT35 - somewhere in that range.

;D


fishing user avatarkms399 reply : 

I would say around 4


fishing user avataretommy28 reply : 

i was gping simply off the fact that it is stated it is 23 inches.if u look at a calabrated golden rule, It is about 6 pounds


fishing user avatarRandyP57221301600215 reply : 

I would 3.5 lbs.


fishing user avatarsimplejoe reply : 

I'd say 2 pounds maybe pushing 3. There's no way that fish is more than that.

If it's 23" then yea, but just by the picture alone, I would say it's about 18" or 19" which makes me think it's about 3-4 lbs.


fishing user avatarTrippyJai reply : 

I would also agree with everyone who said 3-4. I'm going with 3 and a half.

fishing user avatarPitchinkid reply : 

17.4 lbs maybe 18. Depends on how much tungsten you got on you. Some other guesses are stupid low so im gonna even it out a bit


fishing user avatarBassAssasin2 reply : 

ID say around 3-4 pounds or so. And it doesnt really look 23 inches

its hard to tell. the mouth of the fish is small and you cant see the whole fish. this fish is also just over 23" and its mouth was just big enough for me to put a closed fist through.

fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

3.50-4.25


fishing user avatarT-rig reply :

skunked_again, I don't want to be rude but there is no way on earth that fisch is 23" unless you're a giant. Sorry dude!

fishing user avatarBig Tom reply : 

lol


fishing user avatarmrlitetackle reply : 

i really dont want to touch this one.....

but since you asked.....

and its only my personal guess (as pics arent really a good judge of size, as we all know)

id say anywhere from 3 to 3.5


fishing user avatarSteve P. reply : 

5 to 7#?????????? ;D ;D

3.5# would be my best estimate.


fishing user avatarSimp reply : 

Well you are a big guy and if that fish is 23 inches I'd say it's over 5lbs and getting close to six. Now if that fish is more in the 20 to 21 inch range it's in the 4 pound range.
