Guess the length of my new PB smallie

[Skeeloco]

People are having a hard time believing the actual length of this beast, but I'll tell you it came from a lake where they're extremely well fed. Hint, weight is 4lbs on the dot.

Southern Tier NY.

19 inches. Bass get so fat in this lake, my previous PB was 18.5" and 3lb so guess that means 1lb per half inch. I'm after that 20" 6lber next time I go up! Fun time.

The weight will vary from fish to fish. General estimations will come close, but it's not an exact science. You can use length and girth calculations to come a lot closer. Realistically, a smallie will be having to push somewhere from 21"-23" to make it into the 6 lb class. Either way though, that's a very nice smallie you've got there, congrats on the PB!

20 inches... By the way, that is an awesome looking fishing hole behind you.

4 pounds is about average for a 19" smallmouth around here. Unfortunately I see very few 19" smallmouth though.
