AddictedtoFishing Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hey everyone- I wonder if any of yous could help me out.. in the pic my shoe is 9". I figure the bass is about 16" to 17" .. She felt like around 2 to 3 lbs but I'm not sure.. What you guys think? Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 I am positive that the bass is longer than your shoe. As for its true length? Who cares? ;D I'm always happy when I catch a bass that size, but I'm much happier when I catch a large one. Have you considered buying a Check-It Stick? www.checkitstik.com. They are inexpensive and are accepted nationwide as an accurate method of measuring the length of fish. Quote
MichiganFisherman Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I think he was lookin for a weight guesstimate. I'll say she looks a good 2 lbs. Quote
-HAWK- Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I would say a solid 2.5 lbs, nice fish! BTW Where you fishing behind THE ESTATES apartment community? That lake sure looks familar. I live in THE ESTATES and fish that lake often. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 A small tape measure and scale could help you out better then we can!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
mattm Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Looks more like 3.5-4 to me. You need to get a scale though. Guessing by pictures is impossible. Nice fish. Quote
AddictedtoFishing Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 JHAWK-- Yes!! The estates.. I am fishing the other side though by the canal..have to drive over there through the brush.. I heard there are some monster bass in this lake..there is also tilapia, and Mayan Cichlids.. see pics .. Quote
-HAWK- Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Do you live in The Estates? Pm me next time you need a fishing partner. Quote
gar-tracker Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I would say two things, the bass weighs about 2 lbs, and you need some new sneakers. Quote
mdmaynard Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I would say two things, the bass weighs about 2 lbs, and you need some new sneakers. If you do a search there might me a thread on selecting proper fishing sneakers might even find some with scale on the rubber sole of the sneaker, however you probably would have to pick metric or U.S. as I am not sure you can get both ;D Quote
AddictedtoFishing Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 haha-- Yes these are my wading in the muck sneakers... If anyone cares to donate to my new "Papa needs new fishing sneakers" fund please feel free..... Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 I would probably be better guessing the weight of the sneakers since I don't catch many fish that size. Most of mine are in the 7-12" size. Quote
