ncstatered21 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Caught the biggest fish i've ever caught. I didn't have a scale and thought it was at least 6 or 7 pounds. Then i estimate length to be 22 inches and girth to be at least 19 inches. That came out to be 8 pounds. I need some opinions. I'm tryin to get one number and thats how big i'll say it was. How big?

ohiobassmaster93 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 i think that it looks 6 maybe 6.5 but 8 maybe its the picture but 8 sounds a little high Quote
ncstatered21 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 When i was holding it i was say between 6 or 7 as well. Anyone else? Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 Looks to be about a 4.5 pounds to me. How well did she swim off after having one of her gills ripped out? I'm guessing not very well... :-/ Quote
ncstatered21 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 Um...i got water through her gills and figured she was ready to go and swam off normal speed. I mean she swam off the same speed as the other two i caught. I was thinking since she wasn't bleeding too badly that she'd be okay. Quote

It will shock you to find out what some fish weigh. I know it did me. All those 5 and 6 pound bass I was catching turned out to be 3 and 4 pound bass. Quote
Super User David P Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 This fish is 23inches and 17inch girth. Calculator says 8.8, it was 8lbs 13oz. Hope this comparison helps. I'd say 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 lbs. Quote
FR0G Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Not a 8lb, but a nice fish non the less. Congrats! Oh yeah, I'd say its a 4-5lb too. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 nice fish! looks about 19-20 inches and about 4.5-5lbs. Quote
paul. Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 nice fish man. i'm gonna say 4.5-5.5 too. congratulations. Quote

All those 5 and 6 pound bass I was catching turned out to be 3 and 4 pound bass. i have a non-digital scale that of course i forgot to bring. then after i caught and released it i was being superstitious and afraid i wouldn't catch anymore if i went to get it. and i really didn't wanna stop fishing after that. i had another fish break off the tip of my rod and that was a big one too.
