daviscw Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I haven't fished in about a month, but I decided I would stop by my friends pond on the way home from school. Turns out that was a good decision. I finally figured out today that I had been reading my scale all wrong. I thought my scale showed ounces, but obviously it doesn't. That said, I caught my new real PB today! Fish #1 is the PB and fish #2 is another big one. I ended up with 3 bass and 2 bluegill all on a Cavitron Buzzbait. The really exciting thing though, is that I caught 2 big fish without snapping my POS Carrot Stix in half! It is certainly due! Pond Fish #1 Fish #2 I'll post the answers in a day or two. ENJOY!

Super User fourbizz Posted October 3, 2009 Super User Posted October 3, 2009 6'8" Thank you. Davis, I was just saying that if that fish was a 5, you must be a hobbit. So maybe you are just an irish chewbacca. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 7lbs. Nice fish and congrats to your new PB. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 I vote 7 lbs. That fish is pretty long. Congrats man! Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 So maybe you are just an irish chewbacca. WOW, I haven't laughed that hard in a while... And Cody, you are now part of the "Guess the weight clan", and I have lost all respect for you... ;D Quote
daviscw Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Dude! Unlike other threads I actually have a scale and know the weights, even if I did just find out I was reading it wrong. ;D This was supposed to be fun. Thank you Tin, Branuss, and Foubizz for being buzzkills. Fish #1 went 6 lbs 12 ozs Fish #2 went 5 lbs 3ozs. A little deceiving. Quote
-HAWK- Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Man, I was way off. That 2nd picture is proof, that you can not accurately guess a fishes weight by a picture. Quote
NewAngler Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Thank god for trailer hooks.. Oh, and I'll guess.. 1st fish- 6lb 12 oz 2nd fish- 5lb 3 oz...? I could be waaaaay off though. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 "BUZZKILL". The word of the month !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Thank you Tin, Branuss, and Foubizz for being buzzkills. Fish #1 went 6 lbs 12 ozs Fish #2 went 5 lbs 3ozs. A little deceiving. Buzzkills???? We are the only ones that are truly giving it any effort. Anybody can blurt out weights, we are trying to gain any and all valuable information in our quest to obtain the closest and most accurate guess. A 6lb 12oz fish held up to an Irish Chewbacca is gonna look alot different when it's held up to a hobbit... I'm just sayin ;D BTW congrats on the PB!!! You'll never forget the day... keep up the good work. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 Thank god for trailer hooks.. Oh, and I'll guess.. 1st fish- 6lb 12 oz 2nd fish- 5lb 3 oz...? I could be waaaaay off though. Wow, you're good! ;D Quote
daviscw Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 After looking back through the thread, I think NewAngler had the closest guesses. Congrats to NewAngler for winning the 768,335,865th edition of Bass Resources "Guess the Weight" game! I stand corrected. Thank you Branuss and Fourbizz for comparing me to Lord of the Rings characters in attempts to show your true effort! Quote
6pointbuck2003 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 very nice bass!!! When ya get a new PB its always exciting Quote
