Any guess on it weight;))

[Sea NaCl]

about 9.5 pounds

[Dwight Hottle]

It would have to be 8 to 9 lbs if measured correctly.

Is there a pic or am I missing something?

That calculator is not very accurate. It always weighs high. I have taken numerous length x girth measurements with digital scales & boga scale weights & it always weighs above the actual weight. Example my pb largemouth was 26.5" long by 19" girth & weighed 11lbs-2 oz. The weight calculator puts it at 13lbs-1oz. My pb smallmouth was 22.5" x 17" and weighed 7lbs-6oz. the calculator puts it at 8lbs-7oz.

Bigger than the biggest largemouth I've caught recently that was an inch shorter and 2 inches less in circumference and that fish weighed 7.76, so I'd guess around 8.5-9 pounds. After reading your FB post though I see I was a little off.

Ok. I was just saying if that is right. At least I know not to trust it now. BTW. Those are some monster bass.

It was weighed on two different scales. One said 9lbs 14 ounces and the other was 9.89 lbs. I think the fish caculators very. Nothing beats the scales. I know a largie will weigh less then the smallies. Smallies are more solid and also more dense in the fleash. Caught lots around 6,7 and the occasional 8 but this one was a beast. And btw if doubting the 6,7 s check some old posts on here of mine from last year;)

[gettin bent]

That`s a HAWG!

I just looked up the Ontario fishing records. The current record for smallmouth bass was set in 1954. It weighed 9.84lbs & measured 24" long by 18.3" in girth.

What'd she eat?

Mercury must be loving the pic.

[bowhunter63]

Beauty for sure.

Wonder what would be heavier in inchs? Length or girth? Seems im short a inch but my girth is a inch bigger. Would ya think a 23x19.25 is bigger then a 24 x 18.3 or reverse?

[00 mod]

I think girth.  A shorter girthier fish always weights more than a lengthy skinny fish!
