Wukong Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Hey guys I caught my PB just a few days ago and sadly I don't have a scale. I do have a measurement and he is measured at 21 1/2 inches, girth was around 16 inches. A angler stop by to complement me and said it was not a 4 lb but a 5LBer. I really think he is a 5 lber and he is the biggest fish I caught (My PB). I don't have any scale so I don't know the actual weight. Can you guys please tell me how many pounds does he look like he weight? I would like to place his weight with what the majority says. Please give your honest thought positive or negative. Thank You! Length 21 1/2in, Girth 16in 5 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted September 30, 2017 Super User Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome aboard! Here ya go. Those measurements put it close to 7 pounds. https://www.bassresource.com/bassfishing/fishcalculator.html 1 Quote
Wukong Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 How much do you think he weight just by looking at the picture? Give me your honest thoughts please. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 30, 2017 Super User Posted September 30, 2017 Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Congrats on that Beautiful Bass and your new Personal Best. It's really hard to determine a weight from a photo. But that a good one for sure. And I have to ask, what's up with blacking out your face ? A-Jay 2 Quote
Wukong Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 Thank You A-Jay. Not that good of looking so I don't want to show my ugly face haha Lol. 2 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Howdy and welcome aboard! I was wondering about the blacked out face too. Nice bass! If I had to guess a weight from the photo, I'd have to say somewhere between 5-7lbs. 1 Quote

You can read about all kinds of stuff from baits/lures, techniques, rigging, equipment etc. Whatever questions you have, if the articles don't answer them or you can't find them in a search, feel free to make a post and ask. Would bet my life that someone in here can answer them for you. 1 Quote

Pro Logcatcher Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 That's a hog! I'm not the best judge of fish by pics but I'd put it at maybe six pounds? Just take all the guesses and average them Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 1, 2017 Global Moderator Posted October 1, 2017 Welcome! A fish with those measurements would go 6 pounds very easily, and probably bigger. For reference, I caught one a few years ago that was just over 22" long and 17" around that weighed 7.76 pounds. 1 Quote
