MIbassin Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Hey BR! So, I was fishing the pond in my Florida community behind my house, and I got one cast in before I saw a bolt of lighting less than a mile from me. Unfortunately for me, I had walked from my backyard to the other side of the pond so I had to run back in the rain. But, luckily, that one cast in front of a reed patch with a 10.5 inch black ribbon tail worm yielded me this hog. Any chance you could give me a weight estimate? I didn't bring a scale since I figured i'd only be out for a short time because of the storm. Oh and by the way, this bass is definitely my new PB. Just not sure how big…I have no idea what I was looking at in the second picture LOL. 9 Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Do you have the length/girth measurements? It's hard to guess weights just from pictures without any measurements, but my guess would be 9-10 pounds. 2 Quote

Fish the Mitt Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Rules of fishing: 1. Bait your own hook 2. Clean your own fish 3. Tell your own lies I'd say 8-10 would be a safe bet! Hog tho! 3 Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted March 26, 2016 Super User Posted March 26, 2016 Congrats on the new PB. Sucks you didn't have a scale. I am thinking in the 9 lb range but that is purely a guess. Jeff 2 Quote
