Welcome aboard!

Almost impossible to do an analysis of that
bass even with your friend's height. How far
is the bass in front of him, etc., are other 
things that would need to be known.

The bottom line is any of us will only provide
a best guess. In the 4 pound range is mine.

Sorry it is so wide, but tough to know for sure.
It has a good-size head, probably a female and
all spawned out... Just my .02.

Others may have a better guess.

Edited by Darren.
adjusted my guesstimate after looking at picture again...

fishing user avatarJar11591 reply : 

I would guess 3-3.5 pounds. It has head and length of a larger fish, but looks to be on the thin side. If it had more of a belly that fish could go over 4 easy.


fishing user avatarYudo1 reply : 

I guess 4lb.


fishing user avatar"hamma" reply : 

looking at it i'd say around 4 or 5 lb,...its belly doesnt look full


fishing user avatarMassYak85 reply : 

Looks kind of skinny for it's length. It's really hard to judge but I would say 3.5lb


fishing user avatarSHIMANOFAN reply : 

That's a 12 lber if I ever saw one ?  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

Nice bass.

So you guys saw & held that fish but you're having difficulty determining it's size ?

Imagine how we feel.

These items are very helpful with that.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw it, but been wrong before, frequently!!:unsure:


fishing user avatarBass Justice reply : 

Hard to tell without seeing the belly as well. With that being said I have pulled a bunch this season out of ponds very similar in size and I am 5'11 as well, and they were all right at 3lb or just above


fishing user avatarFisher-O-men reply : 

That is a DD !!! (decent/dink)  Really, 4 lbs would be my guess, but my scale shrinks all my fish. 


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

Based on average finger/hand size the bass is approx 21 1/2" long, average body girth about 75% of the length. Formula length X length X girth / 1200 = 6 lbs.

Tom

PS, simply cut a length of line for length and girth or... Get a scale.


fishing user avatarMosster47 reply : 

4lbs


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Ain't no way that bass is over 3-3 1/4 lbs!


fishing user avatarKYBassin' reply : 

I'd say between 18-20 inches long...between 3.0 - 3.5 lbs.

fishing user avatarWildbillb reply : 

Next time take a photo with the rod/reel up against it.  When you get home look at the picture and put a tape measure to your rod/feel and you'll come close to its length.


fishing user avatarclh121787 reply : 

3.5 pounds I'd say. Maybe a nice one for the area you fish.
