Thank you for all the feedback guys! My guess was about 6 pounds and the that's why it's PB says 6-7 because I thought she might hit six but according to the majority she probably wouldn't have.
Indeed, they are the same fish and it looks bigger on the ground because I hold my fish close to my body so I don't overshoot my guess on how much she weighs when I look back on the picture. Obviously, I was about a pound over even though she was a chunk. I thought she was pretty big coming out of a small pond in Maryland. Anyways, thanks for the feedback and hope you guys have tight lines this year!
PS~I bought two scales soon after so I wouldn't have this situation again.
