HeavyFisher Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Hey guys, I decided to take a few days off work and go fishing. The weather was really hell, just non stop rain and wind. But I hung in there and today it all paid off! The fishing was real slow caught a few dinks in the morning then mid afternoon I hooked into this pig. My only problem is with all the rain my digi scale shorted out and I have no idea how much she weighed : ( So what do you guys think? I think anywhere from 8-9lbs? Just so you guys know she was caught from shore. So hopefully this will give some of you fellow shore anglers some hope for hookn a fat pig! 6 Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 It's a guess but your range looks reasonable. Congrats on a really nice bass. 2 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 Really nice bass. I think you are in the right ball park. Sucks about the scale. That would eat at me! Did you at least get some measurements? Jeff 2 Quote
HeavyFisher Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Jeff I am kicking my self in the head you have no idea lol. In my haste I took no measurements. Afterwards my Dad reminded me I could've used cut fishing string......I do this every time I catch a nice size bass. I freak out get all worked up and don't think clearly. I took tons and TONS of pictures so I'm hoping I can send them in and get a pretty accurate mount done. Do you guys think this is a mount worthy bass? Quote

HeavyFisher Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 I wanted to keep the weight conservative. Don't encourage my thoughts on double digits lol, the NY state record is only 11lbs, I feel like I came within a couple pounds easily! 1 Quote

5 Dollar Fishing Game Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I'm going for a 10.0 Shorter fish but that is a FAT pig. Nice beast man. I bet she put up a fight. :-) 1 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 Really nice bass. I think you are in the right ball park. Sucks about the scale. That would eat at me! Did you at least get some measurements? Jeff Same here, without a scale it can make it difficult to know when you break your personal best. I think your estimate is accurate. That's a beautiful fish. 1 Quote
Super User geo g Posted May 15, 2014 Super User Posted May 15, 2014 Wow thats a great looking fish for any part of the country. To come from NY, that is a monster. Great job, I hope she was released in great shape. 1 Quote
