Guestimate the weight of my fish 2024

MattStrykul reply :

Well, I caught this fish last weekend, and some of you saw my report in the outtings section, but I wanna know what you others think. How big do you think this fish is? Most everyone thought it was bigger than my scale read, but who knows. I will see if my scale is off when I get to it next weekend. Its a digital berkley one that goes up to 50lbs.

Let me know what you think

KYbass1276 reply :

I would guess five maybe six but I would think five is more accurate

Jimzee reply :

I gonna say 6lbs. 4oz. Pretty respectable fish in my book. I don't know though, that belly is awful big....Might go 6lbs. 8oz. ;D

Gotta Love It reply :

I would guess 5lbs 12 oz...

MattStrykul reply :

I forgot an important detail, this fish had another fish in its mouth, its tail was sticking out of its throat and it looked like it was a decent sized bass in there, definetly wasn't a shad or perch. Keep guessing, your all close

KU_Bassmaster. reply :

Like I said in the other post .... It looks in the 6.5 range to me.

eastkybass reply :

My guess is 7.1.

Fish Man reply :

6.5 to 7 lbs

Redlinerobert reply :

6.25 lbs.

MattStrykul reply :

I'll let you guys know tomorrow, but I'm going to tell you that my scale read this fish as under 6 lbs. :-[

Fish Man reply :

i have trouble believing that that fish is under 6 pounds :-?

MattStrykul reply :

before I weighed it so did it. It could be my scale, but I'll check it and report back with "actual" weight.

USA-Retired reply :

Over 6, less than 7..going to say 6lb 8oz

T-rig reply :

5lb. 10oz.

SBM-RL reply :

every bit of 5 6 1/2 wouldnt shock me ill go with 5lb 9oz

justfishin reply :

I don't know how big you are and that would certainly help so here goes anyway---5lbs 4ozs.

Catt reply :

I'd have to guess it's at least 5 to 5 ¼, good solid fish

I'm with Catt.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

5.5-7lbs.

Bankbeater reply :

5 to 5-1/2 range.

Cephkiller reply :

5 lb 13 oz.

I based this on the fact that your hand is approximately 4 inches wide which makes the fish about 21.5 inches long. I plugged this into the weight calculator and there you go!

Redtail reply :

Awesome fish regardless, but it really looks darn close to 6lbs.

Is she still swimming?

Of course she is, only time we dont release is if our grandpa wants some fish, and anything over 2.5 we put back pretty much no matter what.

bpm2000 reply :

It looks bigger, but I'm going 5 even!

MattStrykul reply :

Good guesses everyone, but BPM2000 was closest. The scale read the fish being 5.2 pounds.

I'm going back to the lake today, hopefully will catch another biggun. ;D

roadwarrior reply :

Nope, bpm200 said 5.0 For a specific weight Justfishin was closest, 5.25

Catt and I guessed 5- 5 1/4 (5.0- 5.25).

bow3022 reply :

MattStrykul reply :

Thank you very much roadwarrier

Lightninrod reply :

An easy and accurate way to check any fish scale is to put a(or two) full bag of sugar or flour in a plastic grocery sack and hang it from the scale. Commodities have to weigh what the bag says it weighs(plus a fraction of an ounce or so?).

rboat reply :

She looks bigger, if I didn't know I would have guessed 6lbs even.
