Shawn9106 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I caught my PB largemouth but im not entirely sure how much it weighed. I have a picture with it and ill post it also, It was almost 23 inches long and a little over 15 inches around. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 30, 2012 Super User Posted July 30, 2012 I'd say 8ish I see you took it home with you what you do with it eat it, or you getting it mounted? Quote
Shawn9106 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 i figured it was around 8 and i thought id get it mounted because im not sure if ill ever catch another one that big! Quote
Super User deep Posted July 30, 2012 Super User Posted July 30, 2012 I'm confused! If you have the fish with you, why not just weigh it and let us know? Congrats on the PB. May you catch a bigger one soon. Quote

Shawn9106 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 A fish loses weight even being in a live well for a hour or so. The night I brought it home I took it to my neighbor and showed him. He had scales but it showed it weighed 4.5 pounds and he swore up an down it was atleast 7 pounds around 8. So I stood on a scale and seen how much I weighed with it and then with out It. I weighed 256 with and 248. But im not sure if it was accurate either haha. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 30, 2012 Super User Posted July 30, 2012 First of all it's beautiful fish. You had the length and girth measurement, there are a number of weight calculators (one on BR that would put your fish about 7.7 lbs.) that will give a pretty fair estimation, no worse than a guess from a picture. Your friend had a scale and it read 4.5 lb, if the scale is in working order I'd be surprised if it was off by 3 lb, I could buy a few ounces off. Call it 8 and pat yourself on the back. Quote
Basswhippa Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 7 lbs. If you don't have a good scale, you could take it to a farm supply store. Nice fish! Quote
BASSHUNTER1961 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Nice fish, but there is no possible to estimate weight from a picture. A fish can look much bigger by holding your arms out to the camera, and with all the angles and lighting there is no way to guess a weight. At this point "it is what it is" and it's pretty darn nice. Congratulations! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 30, 2012 Super User Posted July 30, 2012 My first guess was 7-8. Congrats on the PB. Jeff Quote

Shawn9106 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Ive tried a few rage tail worms and haven't had much luck on them, but I'll give those a shot! And I caught my latest fishing that was around 8 pounds on those ole monster purple worms! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 31, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 31, 2012 I'd have to agree with everyone else saying the 7-8 pound range. Quote
