mheichelbech Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Didn’t have scales but estimating 8 lbs. 24.75 inches and nice girth. Caught it on a 4 inch pumpkin with chartreuse curly tail Zoom Dead Ringer at approximately 1 pm today in about 2 foot of water just off a tiny point that dropped into about 8 foot. This lake not really known for big fish and def unexpected give the time and heat. The 4 inch zoom worm is one of my faves....I’ve caught numerous 4-5 pound bass on this little gem. On top of the bass I caught 2 channel cats that were 25 and 26 inches, 2 other bass 3-4 pounds and numerous bass 12-14 inches. All around great day and unexpected success given the weather! 23 Quote

Super User WRB Posted June 29, 2020 Super User Posted June 29, 2020 I think you under estimated your bass weight! If 24 3/4" length with mouth closed is accurate your bass weighs close to 9 1/2 lbs. Tom PS L X L X G */1200 = wt in lbs. * average girth is 75% of length. 1 Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted June 29, 2020 Super User Posted June 29, 2020 I would buy a set of scales before I told anyone what my personal best weighed. That is a great fish and unless you know the exact weight, that's all that really matters. 1 Quote

It’s the biggest bass I have ever seen live. I was trying to be conservative in my estimate. It wasn’t skinny either...it had good girth. I keep saying I need to get some scales. Quote
Super User ATA Posted June 29, 2020 Super User Posted June 29, 2020 Or As Stacey King Said; "you know fish can be tricky, So try this, take its length multiplied by four add in a little barometric pressure in the humidity and you have it, you've got a 10 pound bass". Oh man it never gets old, making me laugh to this day. 1 Quote
