Guess This Smallie's Weight..... 2024
GANGGREEN reply :
OK, how big? This is one of my largest smallmouth ever. I know what he went on the handscale, just thought I'd see what people's guesses are. Sometimes I see photos of fish with "confirmed weights" and I think the fish looks smaller. Occasionally the fish looks bigger than the confirmed weight. Any guesses?
Texas Hawg Hunter reply :
I would say around six pounds. You know its a good fish when you have to hold it with all of your fingers

5.8 to 6.3 Lbs.. Beautiful fish...
WRB reply :
Somewhere between 21"-22" = 6 lbs +/- .25 lbs. For average body smallmouth.
Nice smallie!

Hi Salenity reply :
4.7?
DFrench97 reply :
Around 5 1/2 - 6lbs I'd say! Beautiful fish, looks similar to my pb which was a smallie @ 5 1/2 Lbs.
Big Fish Rice reply :
You look like a pretty tall guy...I'd say 5 1/2 pounds at least, maybe 5 3/4 since it has a gut. Very nice either way..
wnybassman reply :
I don't dare guess, Bill. I know just my own pictures makes them look much bigger or much smaller than the actual weight depending on how the shot turned out.
South FLA reply :
5lbs 4ozs
Thornback reply :
I'll guess 5 lbs 12 ounces.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Under six lbs, probably 5.25 to 5.75 is my guess. Does not look like a lake erie fish. Looks like a long fish around 20-21 inches. Nice smallie no matter what it weighs.
BasshunterJGH reply :
Somewhere in between 5 and 6, I'd say. Nice smallie either way!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The fish was 22 3/4" long and weighed 6.4 pounds on a scale (which is probably around 6 pounds 6 ounces or 6 pounds 7 ounces without checking my math). The photo doesn't do it justice but if you compare the body of the fish to my meat head, you can see that it's a big fish. I've caught a number of honest 6 pounders and I thought the scale was broken when it "only" registered 6.4. And by the way, I'm not a terribly tall guy but I'm a big guy across the chest and shoulders so it's not as if a little dude is holding a big one way out in front of him for the camera.

South FLA reply :
So the weight is 6 lbs 6.4 oz which is equal to 6.4 lbs! Wow, pictures are deceiving.

To be exact its 6lbs 6 2/5 ozs, lol! Nice fish and what matters is your memory of the catch, who cares about all of our opinions, it was fun playing the guess game though. I was off by 1lb 2 2/5 ozs, it is a brown fish though!
tracker01 reply :
No, no, no. No fishy, inside trading going on here. I got it fair and square. Drum roll please," Now where's my chicken dinner"?
Alonerankin2 reply :
Lol! Ok... You win, geez.. Enjoy your chik-en
MassBass reply :
What was the lucky lure? I guess TUBE!
Turtle135 reply :
that is one nice smallmouth, I am more impressed by the length than the weight, that one has been around for a long time! well done!
Ski213 reply :
Geat catch! Congratulations. Id love for something like that to be one of my biggest bronze backs. My best smallmouth was half that weight.

That could be the next contest! I'm going to say that tube is a good guess but I'm going with a drop shot.
*Hank reply :

OK, I'll let it go for a bit if people want to guess the lure/bait. To give some perspective and clues, the fish was taken on Memorial Day weekend in upstate NY. I'll let everyone take a guess and report back at some point, probably later today.
OK, I've given it several hours and nobody's made any further guesses as to the lure used so here you go. Like I said, it was Memorial Day weekend and on the lake I was on, the big smallies were either on beds or cruising. This one was taken while she was cruising a large flat. I'd think a jerkbait would have been a great way to crush the big ones, but she was actually taken on a Senko style stickbait. As I recall, I took multiple 4 plus pounders that day. I try to avoid targeting bedding bass and don't fish a lot at this time of year but I happened to be there and took a bunch of these big ones that didn't seem to be sitting on beds.
Thornback reply :
You say it weighed 6.4. I started to guess that (fishermen never lie)

Oh, I believe you. Why would any angler lie?
