How big you think she is?? 2024
jvox reply :
Got this one yesterday on a 10" Powerworm. Of course I was waiting for a friend to show up with my scale. >
Any guesses on weight??
-HAWK- reply :
4-5 POUNDS.. Nice fatty
jvox reply :
I assure you this fish is over 5 lbs. The picture doesnt do it much justice because I was by myself with a cell phone haha.
basspimple reply :
3 oz. seriously though, you cant tell how big a fish is in pics like that. ive seen 3 #ers that look like there six. nice fish though. 
.dsaavedra. reply :
that thing is short (judging by the water bottle) but VERY fat! its gotta humpback lol.
just judging by how fat it was i'd have to say it was 4.5-5.5lbs.
really nice fish you got there! is that a pb?
tyrius. reply :
Next time measure length and girth and you can get a decent approximation based upon the calculator on this site.
Without even the length guessing the weight is impossible.

5 LBS.
If you had a scale you would have solid proof of "over 5 lbs."

Well you do realize, we were not there. So we are judging your fish from the "cell phone picture". You asked for us to guess what the fish weighed based upon the picture. Next time eliminate the guessing game and always have the scale on you when you are fishing.

Well now, you ask for opinions...
My observation is that it takes " 'bout 8 " unweighed to get to 5
weighed. I've looked at the pictures several times this morning
and decided not to guess because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't
like it, but since the "issue" is being pressed, 3 maybe 3 1/2 lbs.

I'm kind of bored at work so here you go.
senile1 reply :
Whatever the weight, it sure is a fatty. Nice fish!!!
J Francho reply :
Please get a scale, and don't just lay the fish on the ground. :

Not good for the fish to be laying on the ground like that.
Big-O reply :
Looks 21" to me and I say 5.5 cause she's kinda thick too..Good job jvox.
Big O
BassFishingMachine reply :
I say in the 5lb range.
Bass XL reply :
Either way, its a good fish.
I hate threads like this because someone will ask, "How much does this weigh," and when the replies come in, they're wrong. Just my opinion.
fishinfiend reply :
Nice fish. It looks like it is about 6lbs or less.
jvox reply :
Thanks guys. The fish was only laying on the ground for a few seconds. Placed it down, snapped a pic, then back in the water. 
Sam reply :
Length X Length X Grith = Pounds
1200
21,25 X 21.25 X 16 = 6.02 Pounds
1200
If you can get a better estimate of her grith you can redo the formula and obatin a better estimate.
Beautiful fish. Now go back and catch her again!
mattm reply :
Its impossible to tell weight by pictures, especially these kind of pictures. Having said that I guess 6lbs.
Btw, time spent on the ground has very little to do with why people are saying not to do it. Any amount of time on the ground is going to remove slime which helps protect the fish against disease.
Nice fish!

Great! That is a nice looking fish.

A few seconds too many. You might not realize it, but you are doing the fish harm. If you're going to practice catch and release, then do it right.
jvox reply :
Ok. No more grounding fish..^^ Take it easy there tiger.

Also one probably shouldn't jam their jaws back like in your avatar.
If you're going to hold them horizontally you should have one hand on their bellies for support.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :
She's short, but fat. 4.75-5.25
Definitely not over 5.5 and a very nice looking bass. Good genetics there.
joshuaryan reply :
I'd say about 5lbs. Very nice indeed.
mattm reply :
Rose,
He's speaking to JF not jvox.
rondef reply :
Nice hawg, time to invest in a scale to elimate the guessing.
zellamander reply :
I'm with RW on this one. It looks to me around 4lbs

Redlinerobert reply :

MichiganFisherman reply :
Solid 4-5lb chunk no doubt unless this guy is really small or somethin.. nice catch.
Jeff C. reply :
I caught a 21 -1/4" ( used a tape )
girth was 17"
last week.. looked to be a little heavier than yours
but as said earlier pictures are hard to judge.
it weighed 5#-8oz
all bass vary some.
nice catch..
Jeff
SimonSays reply :
I'd say 4 to be on the safe size...
I have about 3 different scales...but for some reason everytime I end up catching a PB I never have one on me ><
My avatar pic is my pb and of course didn't bring my scale, I say 5lber but I think it's more
Tin reply :
4.75 on the heavy side.

$20 Berkley scale and knowing you caught a solid "Three": Priceless.
