I was thinking about a bed of nails but sandpaper will do.
Exactly 3.98
Pitchinkid reply :
Around 4. Id call it a 5 if i caught it though.
WRB reply :
If the seat is a standard 12" wide, then your bass is about 22" long and should weigh near 6 to 61/2 lbs, very nice northern LMB.

dman reply :

;D 4 1/2
Dock Master reply :
5 lbs.
Rich Tehan reply :
Can't see the girth but looks > 4
HoggBoss reply :
I landed a NE Ohio 21" female the first week of april (full of eggs) and she went 7. But, if times are tight for them, they can really slim down and lose a lot of weight. Just like the mangy old cat that runs away for 3 weeks and comes back at half his original body weight. ;D
Grey Wolf reply :
Between 1 and 5 lbs.
angler1 reply :
4 + or -
David P reply :
I have a photo of a fish very similar. 5 1/2 - 6lbs would be a good guess. Probably safer to just call it a 5 though.
RoLo reply :
Has good girth, so I'd guess 4ish
bassman31783 reply :
About 4 to 4 1/2lbs. Nice fish though.
tyrius. reply :
Without any type of measurements guessing based upon a picture is futile. Even guessing with measurements leads to big inaccuracies.
Next time get length and girth measurements. You can get pretty close to the length on this one by measuring the length of your rod from the tail of the fish to the mouth.
WRB reply :
Without any other information, all anyone can do is estimate the weight based on whatever is available to make an educated guess. I used the boat seat on the aluminum boat the fish is laying on and guessed at that being 12" wide. The boat seat could be 10", however most aluminum boats used a standard 12" wide bench seat. Whatever; the bass is clearly about twice as long as the seat is wide, about 2" less, and the rod/reel confirms that. At the end of the day an accurate scale eliminates the guess work. it's still fun to try to estimate weights.

Haha. Well said! I agree.
christopherjake reply :
I'd be happy catching one of those. Nice fish. 5-6 lber.
IwillChooseFreeWill reply :
Looking at the length compared to the rod, I would say around 18" long and 3.5 lb. Its not fat, overly round or full of eggs so anything more than that I think is typical fisherman "add 3 inches and 3 pounds"...
That is a short butt handled rod so it is 12" from front of reel to end of butt, so another 6" gives the length of the fish... Its not fat, overly round or full of eggs so the weight is much lower than what some think.

My aluminum boat seats are 15" wide.
I am going to guess 5#s. Do you have any measurements, or a weight I am just curious. See if we have anyone close.
Dalton Tam reply :
I'd say about 5 lbs and don't worry bout these guys raggin on you about your seats. I'm sure your seats are cleaner than their hands lol and anyone that lays a fish on the ground to take a picture is doing alot worse than you are because they are getting trash in their gills.
Big Bait Fishing reply :
i would say that fish weighs between 6-7 1/4 lbs. i have a picture just like that of a 7 1/2 lb. bass i caught last summer ....
cart7t reply :
If I could see it filleted and in a skillet I could make a better guestimate.
1-6lbs otherwise.
CAdeltaLipRipper reply :
4
Fishing Doug reply :
3.5 ish
KrazieJacket1301600339 reply :
5 to 5.5... Nice catch man.
BigEbass reply :
Wow, guesses range 3 to over 7 lbs - looks can be decieving either way I suppose - nice catch!

Ok it's time to tell how the bass weighs.
WRB
Flameseeker reply :
If you hadn't taken the picture you could of said it weighed any amount but since you did, I'd say 4-5½ lbs. Now you can't tell everyone a tall fish story. Usually when I take a camera along I don't catch anything worth taking a picture of.
IwillChooseFreeWill reply :
This thread is exactly why I bring a wooden yard stick along. It floats and gives you the length needed with a quick measure.
BigEbass reply :
heh heh, fisherman are fairly superstitious it seems - I have seen that camera comment a number of times on here
