any guess on the weight of this fish?

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

We don't get to hold 'em like that up here in RI, so my guess is out

[Raul]

I'm guessing 22-23", average range of 6 lb 6oz - 7 lb 5 oz. However, this big girl looks thick (that's PC for fat). So, I'll say just over 8 lbs., 8 lbs 2 oz.

Nope you guessed wrong RW, more !  ;D

Road W., I agree that Raul's is a quality fish. Butterballs like this do weigh well! Maybe 8-9 lbs., if it's 23 inches or more.

23" x 22 1/2" Nick, I caught that baby last year, this year has been rough, I was out of comission during the best time of the year to catch me a bigun and I 'm still partialy out of comission.

[Nick]

What commission are you in? Sorry to hear you are partially there. So did it go 10lb.?

[Muddpuppy]

I go with about 11 lbs.  and guess its 28 inches long.

[Raul]

The comission is fishing ! I suffered a shoulder injury ( my casting arm ) that kept me 9 weeks out of "comission" during the prime of the season when I normally catch fish like that one and the shoulder is still not 100% operational Nick so most probably I 'm not going to catch a big momma this year, the closest I 've been to one this year 6 months ago and 6 ft away when she jumped  and spitted my jig right in my face, as big as a ham. That one didn 't weight 10, very close but not enough, 9.86 lbs.
