-HAWK- Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Well Here in South Florida we just had a FRIGID cold front just pass through last night. The temperatures dropped to a freezing 41 degrees.I went out fishing today not expecting much. Well after about 2 hours of fishing and 13 LMB later all in the 1 - 2 lb range, i landed this 4lb beauty. Not a bad night... Quote

Krzkev Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Nice fish, and nice day. But if that fish is 4 lbs, I am Elvis Presley. LOL Quote

LOL You can't always tell by looking at a picture, but we have an unwritten rule or courtesy that most members follow: If a poster asks, "What do you think she weighed?", game on! If a poster states a weight, especially if they say they weighed the fish, we let it pass. 8-) Quote

LOL The scale may be off but the fish measured a little over 18inches. this is the scale i used http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_13327_100011004_100000000_100011000_100-11-4 i have used it to weigh household items (gallon of water) and it was dead on.

-HAWK- Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 I have some more photos at home that show me holding the bass, that may give you a better comparison of the actuall size of the bass. Quote
Perfect Hook Set Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Was the water clear? If not judging by the color of the bass I would have to guess it was caught very deep... ALSO!!!! "The temperatures dropped to a freezing 41 degrees." Freezing meh this morning as I went to work it was 5º withe a high reaching 30º I wish we had lows in the 40º range! BTW nice fish Quote

Perfect Hook Set Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 We let it pass and laugh inside correct? Jhawk: I was teasing you about the temp When summer comes around and we have a 40º night I too complain how cold it is... I love that scale, though mine had gotten ran over, it was always on target and worked even after dropping it in the water unlike most digital scales... I am saying this in general and not toward any one... I think this year I may measure the weight, girth, and length and post so no one will question my catches lol I am actually good at guessing Bass weights in person... Quote
