bass2187 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Got her today at the campus lake here at SIU. It was an old fish blind in one eye. Caught on a watermelon with black flake horny toad. She did her Jaws impression with wake and all being produced. To bad i didnt have a scale with me. I am guessing between 5-6lbs at least. Rod and reel is a shimano compre and shimano sedona 2500. Rod and reel is my best way of guaging size. I would saw around 20in from the looks of it and probably just as wide! Safely released after a couple pics to catch again another day. Mike Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I don't want to rain on your parade because she's a beautiful fish for sure but my guess would be closer to 3.5 to 4.5 lbs. Either way, that's a nice bass right there Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted May 30, 2007 Super User Posted May 30, 2007 On average, 20" = 4 lb 10 oz. It doesn't really matter, nice fish! Quote
Lightninrod Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ya done good young man! Got some tough critics here but......I too have to agree with the 4-4.5 lbs guesstimate. Dan Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nice Fish! I was at campus lake about 20 years ago for the cardboard boat regada (beerfest)...I've never heard much about fishing there, but you've got me curious. Well done. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 A fish like that will make you more than curious, it'll make you go fishing!! Quote
