Best day this spring !

[David P]

I caught 4 or 5 1-2lbers but hooked in to some good quality bass.

First half hour I was there, I swear I was fighting a nice 7-8lb bass, and poof, line just snapped. I had 8lb line shouldn't have done that!

After another 20-30min I hooked either the same one, or another of very close size, my first hula grub fish, but once again, after I got it within 4 ft of me, he got loose.

Some may call that a crappy day, but to me, it's the most action I've seen this spring or ever for that matter!

I did take pictures of 2 of the bass, one was a pretty large size, not sure how much it weighed, any guesses? I'm not good at guessing weight :-/

Then this once, smaller, but still a decent fight. Hula Grub fish!

Pictures suck cause they're on my cellphone and I was the only one there. But I tired =)

They were biting on a much quicker retrieve then usual for plastics, twas a fun day!

could be anywhere from 3-5 pounds but I would go with 3.50 or 3.75

I from just rough estimate would say it was at least 4 maybe 4 1/2 , It felt very close in weight to the 5.6Lb that's in my avatar, but the other one was much longer, this one was only 20 1/2 inches. The other one had a few extra inches, though this one had more of a belly.

I'm so frustrated about the few that got off, I'm going back Friday

[Bassassasin12]

at almost 21 inches it could very well be in the 4-5 lb. range. Nice fish man!

Thanks man, best fish this year for me (Only fished 4 times sense Oct), hopefully they'll be plenty more.

Definitely a nice fish regardless of the weight.  Way to go!

That fish is clearly larger than 3.5lbs.

The camera is crap, and they are terrible pictures. It was much nicer in person, I want a real camera but I'm hardly able to afford GY products!  How much would you say? Like I said, It felt very close to my 5.6 but it's much shorter, but has a much thicker head and body. I hooked him 2wice before and sat on him for an hour until I got him , 3rd times a charm =)

I'm going to look on Google for a scale, any suggestions on good cheap ones? So we don't have to play this guessing game

Very nice bass.Looks like about 41/2 to 5lbs .Kinda hard to say from those pics.

I use a Berkly 50# digital scale (weights in ozs.) good scale for under $25 IMHO.

hey thanks guys, and turtle, is that very accurate? I've been reading mixed things about the ones that are 20-30 dollars. I only found a few on BPS, I think the brkly one is on there that you're talking about. Some good and some bad reviews. How long have you had yours for?

Hey Brokejew,

       I've had mine a little over two years.I have'nt check it since last year.But,after reading your post you got me to wondering :-?. I got my 5#cast iron weight off my dumbell that I use to check it a couple times a year.5# on the money, checked it twice ;)I have had no problems with it at all.By far not the best there is but suites my needs just fine
