How big you think she is??

[jvox]

Got this one yesterday on a 10" Powerworm. Of course I was waiting for a friend to show up with my scale. > Any guesses on weight??

[-HAWK-]

4-5 POUNDS.. Nice fatty

[jvox]

I assure you this fish is over 5 lbs. The picture doesnt do it much justice because I was by myself with a cell phone haha.

[basspimple]

3 oz. seriously though, you cant tell how big a fish is in pics like that. ive seen 3 #ers that look like there six. nice fish though.

[.dsaavedra.]

that thing is short (judging by the water bottle) but VERY fat! its gotta humpback lol.

just judging by how fat it was i'd have to say it was 4.5-5.5lbs.

really nice fish you got there! is that a pb?

Next time measure length and girth and you can get a decent approximation based upon the calculator on this site.

Without even the length guessing the weight is impossible.

5 LBS.

If you had a scale you would have solid proof of "over 5 lbs."

Well you do realize, we were not there. So we are judging your fish from the "cell phone picture". You asked for us to guess what the fish weighed based upon the picture. Next time eliminate the guessing game and always have the scale on you when you are fishing.

Well now, you ask for opinions...

My observation is that it takes " 'bout 8 " unweighed to get to 5

weighed. I've looked at the pictures several times this morning

and decided not to guess because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't

like it, but since the "issue" is being pressed, 3 maybe 3 1/2 lbs.

I'm kind of bored at work so here you go.

[senile1]

Whatever the weight, it sure is a fatty.  Nice fish!!!

[J Francho]

Please get a scale, and don't just lay the fish on the ground.  :

Not good for the fish to be laying on the ground like that.

[Big-O]

Looks 21" to me and I say 5.5 cause she's kinda thick too..Good job jvox.

Big O

[BassFishingMachine]

I say in the 5lb range.

[Bass XL]

Either way, its a good fish.

I hate threads like this because someone will ask, "How much does this weigh," and when the replies come in, they're wrong. Just my opinion.

[fishinfiend]

Nice fish. It looks like it is about 6lbs or less.

[jvox]

Thanks guys. The fish was only laying on the ground for a few seconds.  Placed it down, snapped a pic, then back in the water.

Length X Length X Grith = Pounds

           1200

21,25 X 21.25 X 16 = 6.02 Pounds

           1200

If you can get a better estimate of her grith you can redo the formula and obatin a better estimate.

Beautiful fish.  Now go back and catch her again!  

[mattm]

Its impossible to tell weight by pictures, especially these kind of pictures.  Having said that I guess 6lbs.

Btw, time spent on the ground has very little to do with why people are saying not to do it.  Any amount of time on the ground is going to remove slime which helps protect the fish against disease.

Nice fish!

Great! That is a nice looking fish.

A few seconds too many.  You might not realize it, but you are doing the fish harm.  If you're going to practice catch and release, then do it right.

[jvox]

Ok. No more grounding fish..^^ Take it easy there tiger.

Also one probably shouldn't jam their jaws back like in your avatar.  

If you're going to hold them horizontally you should have one hand on their bellies for support.
