Super User 00 mod Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 Im going with a good 6.5-7.5. Great fish! but pictures are hard to tell by and a scale is the only for sure way to know. Keep in mind my avatar is in the 10lb class Jeff 2 Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 It is a nice fish. Congrats. 1 Quote
gripnrip Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I'd say a solid 7. But I'm with Jeff. 6.5 to 7.5 is a great estimate. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 I am also in the 6.5-7.5lb class for my guess. Definitely one I would be proud of catching 1 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 If you can estimate the girth and length you can get a decent gauge by using http://www.bassresource.com/bassfishing/fishcalculator.html One I also use is a very basic formula just to give me a sense of the size. Length x Length x Length / 1600 Quote
Al Wolbach Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I am also in the 6.5-7.5lb class for my guess. Definitely one I would be proud of catching Ditto. That a nice fish anywhere...............................Al 1 Quote

BigAL Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks guys for all the replies,thought I had my 10 lber Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 Dont feel bad, about 5 years ago one of my pals and had just bought a bass boat and had just got into bass fishing. He called me on the phone yelling that he had a 10bit pounder and i needed to get down to the ramp with some scales and a camera. When i got to the ramp , he was tied off to the dock and as excited. He pulls this nice fish outta he live well and my heart sank...the fish looked like it weighed maybe 5 lbs. I shook my head and told him that the fish was not a 10lb fish and that i would still photograph it. He insisted that we still weigh it. The fished weigh 5.4 lbs. I kinda felt bad for the guy. But it was still a beast of a fish. Not related to the story but that guy is an extremely good angler on our home lakes now 1 Quote
BigAL Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Yea I been fishing all my life nothing competitive or anything, finally starting to catch some decent fish, before just alot of keepers Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks guys for all the replies,thought I had my 10 lber One reason I never ask, If say it's 10# so be it.........lol. Would I have had more fun if it were 9.9 or 10.1, probably the same. A great fish, all that matters is that you had a good time. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 Never the less, great fish. I will admit I have been there and done that. We swear those big girls we catch on the days we forget the scale were 10lbs. 1 Quote
Super User South FLA Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 As everyone else is saying NICE fish, the memory of catching it will remain with you for a longtime! As far as guessng weights from pictures it is ALMOST impossible to do. Take a look at the golf course frenzy thread below that Dwight put up, the largest bass he is holding is 6 lbs 9 ozs on a digital scale. YES ONLY 6-9lb, but at the time he we thought it was at least low 8lb range, but nothing like a objectiving measuring device to get you down from the fish fever! Nevertheless, I would say your fish was in the high 4lb range to low 5lb range. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/111874-golf-course-frenzy/ 1 Quote
