Limpinglogan Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I got this one last night...I took no measurements of any kind just a photo. I can't help wonder what it wieghed....Any thoughts? Quote
nvhsaccel Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I'd say around the 5lb range, maybe more. Quote
North Ga Hillbilly Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Im guessin 3.5 but could be heavier NGaHB Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted April 16, 2012 Super User Posted April 16, 2012 2.75 - 3.5. Nothing over 3.5 Quote
brushhoggin Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 i say at least 3 lbs. i give up. what's the weight??? Quote
Limpinglogan Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 I did not weigh it. I was thinking 4.5-5.5lbs...just because I have caught lots of 3-4 lbers that were not as big and fat as this one. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 16, 2012 Super User Posted April 16, 2012 Put a mark on your rod, I do mine at 20", then you will have a close idea of how big the fish is, or you can measure your shoe and pace it off, I do that too.........I never carry scale. Quote
Limpinglogan Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for the input guys.... The guys saying 2.5-3.5 are crazy...haha...just because I have weighed lots of 3lb'ers that were way smaller then this guy. It reminds me of a 4.9lb'er I caught last year but I think this guy is a lot longer than that one.... Quote
Simp Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 It;s REALLY hard to guess a fish by a photo. That fish has a great healthy form and it could be a 10lber to many if they didn't have a reference to judge the length of that fish. I'd guess right below 5lbs but it could be as low as 4lbs and as high as 5.5lbs IMHO. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 17, 2012 Super User Posted April 17, 2012 I don't understand these kinds of threads, if one has a good idea of the size of a fish, what's the need in asking and then disagree with some else's opinion. My opinion.......I'd would have appreciated the fish just as much in outings section titled "hey look what I caught". 1 Quote
pitchin fool Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The bottom lip isn't extending past the top, and with your arm up and kinda out, makes me want to believe that it is a 4lber. Nice fish, but for me the bottom lip starts giving out to weight when it hits that 5lb mark. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted April 18, 2012 Super User Posted April 18, 2012 The head looks a bit small for anything over 4.5-5, or perhaps you have a big fist. It's a nice catch though, regardless of weight. Quote
"BRB" Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Well it depends my scale I say 4.5 but if your on a fishing show it would be 6 lber. Quote
Limpinglogan Posted April 19, 2012 Author Posted April 19, 2012 HAHA thanks for the replies. If I had to bet it would be 4.8lbs. I wish I had my scale with me because I always mark a 5lb'er as a milestone...especially bass fishing in Michigan...this guy was pretty long and fat and it stacks up to 5lber's I have caught in the past. Like I said... I would bet 4.8 lbs...it might have been less and maybe it was between 5-5.5. who knows... Quote
