Heron Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I didn't have a scale when I caught this one. What do you figure that this fish would've weighed in at? Length = 21 inches. Quote
riverbasser13 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Hmmm maybe 4.5 or 5 depending on the girth? Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 Five and a half or six 1 Quote
primetime Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Nice, a night time Lunker....I will say 5lbs but that fish looks healthy and pictures are tough for guestimates, but a 21" length would lead me to believe that it is 5lbs 2 oz. and the .2 are extra points you are awarded for measuring after dark. That fish must have had your heart pounding after it first broke water or peeled some drag...or in a perfect world it was caught on a topwater....Big fish either way. Congrats. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 I'd be guessing right around 5 and a half pounds. Quote
Thornback Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 It doesn't appear to be pre spawn, but it is healthy looking. I'm going with an even 5. Quote
BrownBear Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 5lbs 8oz. Is there a prize for the right guess? lol. Did you take it back and weight it or we just guessing? Nice fish either way. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 The tape measure weighs 7.2 oz. Beautiful fish! 2 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 nice fish, i wouldn't hesitate to say it's 5.5 Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 Five and a half or six 5.5 came to mind when I saw it. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 I give it a easy 6lb mark.. Nice thick fish.. Nice and healthy in appearance.. Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 4lbs-14oz. I can guess why you put that down....... 1 Quote
Heron Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 5lbs 8oz. Is there a prize for the right guess? lol. Did you take it back and weight it or we just guessing? Nice fish either way. Hah....nah no prize. I just never had it weighed. Quote

Thornback Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Came out to about 12lbs.I was going to guess that Quote
Heron Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 I was going to guess that Well then in that case, if we agree on it, it must be right. 12lbs it is. Quote
WarEagleBassin Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 the one in my pic was 22 inches and about the same girth. It weighed in at 5lbs 1oz so I would say right around 5 pounds. Good fish!! Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 Ima say 6lbs, looks like a fat fish! Quote
Super User tomustang Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 I'm going to be conservative and say 13oz 1 Quote
