FishHard247 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Ok, Ive done the conversion but I just want to see what you guys think. She was 24.5 inches on the nose in length. Didn't take girth but its the fattest bass Ive ever seen not on TV lol and her back went up into an arch. alright let me know what you think she weighed. Thanks! 6 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 don't even care to venture a guess, but holy **** that's a pig!! Quote
Super User scaleface Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 I can see the scales but I cant read them . 3 Quote
bassr95 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I would think in the 7-8 lb range but it's really hard to guess based on a picture 1 Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 I don't even have a guess for you buddy. I always think it's tough to judge a fish in a photo like that. Stud of a fish for sure. I'd say if your PB thing is still accurate, she comes real close to bumping you up a notch. Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 Nice Bass ~ Really hard to guess the weight there - Quality fish for sure - Congrats A-Jay Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 Hawg! 6.5-7.5 but that just a guess! Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 9.5 to 10 lbs based on 25" length, NLMB. Tom Bass weight formula; L x L x G / 1200 = weight in lbs. Average girth for NLMB = .75 L, L is length measure closed mouth to end of tail. 24.5" L = 9.2 lbs 3 Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 On balance (excuse the pun), a 24.5" bass will weigh around 8-1/2 pounds. Roger 2 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 I don't usually guess on the high side, but I'm gonna give you 8-9 at the least. Beautiful bass dude. Quote
mnbassman23 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Nice fish regardless. She looks pretty thick. I'd say in the 8-9lb range, but hard to tell with the picture. Quote
FishHard247 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I didn't want to give more influential info but I didn't catch this fish however my daughters boyfriend did. Last week I caught a 7.13 at 24.5 inches and it was no where this this fishes girth. It same length. The scales said 8.5 in this fish but I would have bet $100 it was 10! I just wanted to see what the pros thought. Thanks guys. 2 Quote
Basswhippa Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 That is between 8 and 10. Guessing 9. Son caught a 24.5 that was 8.35 and a 24 that was 8.65. They were healthy, but I'm not sure as tall and thick as that one. 9.2 is it. Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Blows my mind the amount of people that do not carry scales. Have one in both of my boats and every tackle box i own, to avoid this mind numbing exercise. Great fish but you will never know its true weight until you put it on the scale. 2 Quote
wisconsin heat Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 How big is that bass? Huge, numbers do not matter when you got a picture like that! Quote

Have one in both of my boats and every tackle box i own, to avoid this mind numbing exercise. Great fish but you will never know its true weight until you put it on the scale. I own 4, total cost less than $100, plus some extra batteries. Unless you just don't care what a fish weighs there's really not a good reason not to have one. The only experience I have a fish close to that size was 24" long but a skinny 14.5" around and went 7.51 pounds. That fish appears to be considerably thicker so I'd guess around 9 pounds but could easily be over 10. Quote
