calbert04 reply :

i caught ths bass yesterday but nver got a chance to weigh it because i dropped my scale in the water. its been buggin me since i let it go, from this pic how big would you say ths bass is? im real bad at estimating fish weight but i'd say its about 9 pounds or so.

Castamasta reply :

im not very good at judging the weight of bass. id say a little over 10? any way thats a hog

jrhennecke reply :

It hard to say but I'd guess 9.5 to 10#. Beautiful fish!

simplejoe reply :

WOW that's a beauty. I say a little over 10

watermelon/red berkley gulp, wacky rigged with 8lb test line on my baitcaster

Popeye reply :

Now that's a HAWG!! Great catch! I'd guesstimate, based on the size of the mouth, at least 10 pounds if not more!

garry77 reply :

I' d say if it's not 10 lbs it's pretty darn close.

GatorTom reply :

I'd have to agree with everyone else. She's either side of 10. Nice fish!

X-Rap reply :

deffinetly ove 10. What a pig!

Rayraff reply :

I saw the mallet and I was scared you hit it over the head.

Bassnbrett101 reply :

I agree with the majority, over ten if not more. At most 13 though, it looks spawned out in the photo, was she full of eggs?

SenkoBasser reply :

I'd say 9 to 9.5. What a hog. Lucky dog. She's a trophy. Take your pics and head to the taxidermist. Damnit. Can't wait to get out there.

Grey Wolf reply :

10 lbs.

Catt reply :

10# + Hawg

mattm reply :

I'd guess 10#'s and wouldn't be shocked if she was actually a pound and a half either way. Awesome fish. What state are you from?

rondef reply :

Nice Hawg, I would have to say between 9 & 10 pounds.

natalex1208 reply :

I think that fish is over 10 lbs. It is hard to tell because I can't see how wide her back is and you are holding her closer to the camera, but her head is HUGE.

Here is a tip if you are ever caught without a scale again. Cut a piece of line equal to her length, then cut one equal to her girth. Take a couple of more picture. One of her back, one of her belly, one from each side. Also take the pics with her right beside you. That gives a better reference object so she can be judged. Orlando Wilson used to say that "Roland Martin has the biggest thumbs in the world". He would always put his fish up against the camera lense and carry on about how big the fish were. Disclaimer: RM has caught a bunch of huge bass.

You can then find online calculators or do it yourself and estimate her weight. Those estimates will get you pretty close.

Maxximus Redneckus reply :

Yup ur about right it looks a good 9 or 10 pounder easy

David P reply :

That fish could have gone 10, but for someone like me, if I don't know for sure, I wouldn't be able to call it a DD just cause I dont' know for sure.

I'd call it 9 1/2.
