Sam reply :
There is a weight article on this site to use to estimate the weight of your bass.
Here is the formula I use:
Estimating Weight of a Largemouth Bass
Formula that will give you a close approximation of the bass' weight.
LENGTH x LENGTH x GRITH = WEIGHT IN POUNDS
1200
Length means the total length in inches from the tip of the jaw to the longest part of the tail.
Girth is measured in inches around the thickest part of the body
25 inch bass with a 20-inch girth:
25 x 25 x 20 = 10.42 Pounds
1200
Try using this formula to estimate weight of your bass. 
Bankbeater reply :
It's bigger than most of the ones I usually catch. So that puts the weight over 1 pound .

4 1/2 to 5 1/2 lbs. Great looking fish.

Tops it would be is 5 pounds, at best.
Here's the best formula to figure a fish's weight:
BUY A SCALE .
An eye will lie; a scale doesn't.
Radical Conservative reply :
Guess I'm the only one that thinks no way does that fish hit 5 pounds. It's also being held closer to the camera, making it look bigger. 3.5 - 4 lbs.

;D ;D ;D
VAfishin4me reply :
That bass is definitely over 4 pounds, I don't know where people get off saying that bass is less than 4. I would guess between 4.5 -5.5 unless you're a really tall guy.
Dwreck reply :
