Super User Tin Posted February 12, 2011 Super User Posted February 12, 2011 Yay!! 2nd bass of 2011 and she was a doozie..Thinking somewhere between 8-9 lbs ..she was 22" in length and thinking 19-21 " in girth ;D Nice fish! But probably a little more than halfway to 8-9 pounds given the length. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks guys!! It felt like i had set the hook in a stump.Luckily the water temps are still pretty cold and she didn't have to much fight in her. But i will say that she had no problem pulling drag out ;D Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 12, 2011 Super User Posted February 12, 2011 A nice bass but 6-7 lb. range , buy a scale and you'll know for sure. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 A nice bass but 6-7 lb. range , buy a scale and you'll know for sure. I used the fish weight calculator on here but i was guessing at the girth. I did measure the length though. Unfortunately a scale is not an option as this was caught during..umm a "slow time" at work ;D ;D I'm happy with a 6-7 lbs too, but i do know my arm was tired after holding it up and taking the pictures Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 12, 2011 Super User Posted February 12, 2011 A nice bass but 6-7 lb. range , buy a scale and you'll know for sure. That's the ballpark I would think. FWIW - I've been fortunate enough to catch three 22" fish so far this year and they were 4.60, 4.87, and 5.31lbs for an average of 4.93. The fish in my lakes run skinny, and your fish has more girth, so the 6-7 range sounds about right. On having a scale - put together a fanny pack with some basic gear and keep it with your rod. I keep the fanny pack in the photo in the trunk of my car so I always have it... BTW - what did you catch this fish on? Quote
Fish Chris Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Very nice ! Continued success to you Fish Quote
InLikeFinz Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Nice fish. That's a good 2nd of the year for sure. Jason Quote
Super User senile1 Posted February 13, 2011 Super User Posted February 13, 2011 Nice fish whether its 5 lbs, 6 lbs, or whatever. Quote
smac024 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 slow day at work eh? hopefully more slow days in the future. ;D solid hawg! Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Is that a Lake Murray pig? No unfortunately it is not from Lake Murray. It came from a 3-4 acre unmanaged pond in Lexington. Hopefully i will be able to get some Lake Murray pigs when the whether warms up a bit. Quote
