MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Well, I caught this fish last weekend, and some of you saw my report in the outtings section, but I wanna know what you others think. How big do you think this fish is? Most everyone thought it was bigger than my scale read, but who knows. I will see if my scale is off when I get to it next weekend. Its a digital berkley one that goes up to 50lbs. Let me know what you think Quote
KYbass1276 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I would guess five maybe six but I would think five is more accurate Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 9, 2007 Super User Posted March 9, 2007 I gonna say 6lbs. 4oz. Pretty respectable fish in my book. I don't know though, that belly is awful big....Might go 6lbs. 8oz. ;D Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 I forgot an important detail, this fish had another fish in its mouth, its tail was sticking out of its throat and it looked like it was a decent sized bass in there, definetly wasn't a shad or perch. Keep guessing, your all close Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted March 9, 2007 Super User Posted March 9, 2007 Like I said in the other post .... It looks in the 6.5 range to me. Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 I'll let you guys know tomorrow, but I'm going to tell you that my scale read this fish as under 6 lbs. :-[ Quote
Fish Man Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 i have trouble believing that that fish is under 6 pounds :-? Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 before I weighed it so did it. It could be my scale, but I'll check it and report back with "actual" weight. Quote
USA-Retired Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Over 6, less than 7..going to say 6lb 8oz Quote
SBM-RL Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 every bit of 5 6 1/2 wouldnt shock me ill go with 5lb 9oz Quote
justfishin Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I don't know how big you are and that would certainly help so here goes anyway---5lbs 4ozs. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 9, 2007 Super User Posted March 9, 2007 I'd have to guess it's at least 5 to 5 ¼, good solid fish Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 9, 2007 Super User Posted March 9, 2007 I'd have to guess it's at least 5 to 5 ¼, good solid fish I'm with Catt. Quote
Cephkiller Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 5 lb 13 oz. I based this on the fact that your hand is approximately 4 inches wide which makes the fish about 21.5 inches long. I plugged this into the weight calculator and there you go! Quote
Redtail Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Awesome fish regardless, but it really looks darn close to 6lbs. Is she still swimming? Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Awesome fish regardless, but it really looks darn close to 6lbs. Is she still swimming? Of course she is, only time we dont release is if our grandpa wants some fish, and anything over 2.5 we put back pretty much no matter what. Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Good guesses everyone, but BPM2000 was closest. The scale read the fish being 5.2 pounds. I'm going back to the lake today, hopefully will catch another biggun. ;D Quote
