Michaelt1987 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I caught this beauty this morning on a frog and I need help guessing what it would go for. I didn't get a measurement or anything because I was trying to slip it back in before anybody seen me. Thanks Quote

shimmy Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 1 lb 13 ounces. Get a scale to prove me i'm wrong. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 19, 2014 Super User Posted April 19, 2014 $15. That's about what a decent scale will run. Nice fish! 3 Quote
mjseverson24 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Its hard to tell just how big it is, i would need to know how long your arm is, as i see it is stretched out as far as it can go... it does seem to be pretty long though... i would say 4-8 lbs... Mitch Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted April 19, 2014 Super User Posted April 19, 2014 Under 5, punching the camera makes fish look a lot bigger... Long fish tho Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 6.1 Yeah I know he's 5+ who ever thinks it's less is smoking crack lol. She was around 27 inches,punching the camera makes it look bigger but the camera man was at least 10ft away. My arm is just over 2ft and the fish was longer than it. I've caught one a year ago that was 28inches and it was thinner through the back. It weighed 6.2. There's 13 inches between the fin and mouth. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted April 20, 2014 Super User Posted April 20, 2014 4 to 5 range. It looks kind of underfed. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted April 20, 2014 Super User Posted April 20, 2014 Nice fish Michael. As far as the weight? Who knows? It's a 6 plus, and it looked like it just finished spawning. I know you recently lost your scale, the length and girth formula for estimates I hear has worked for some on here in the past. 1 Quote

missouribigbass Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I would go with 5.5lbs. Very long fish. I've caught a few 8lbers I don't think we're any longer than that fish. To bad she didn't have some girth. Quote
