Super User Catt Posted September 13, 2007 Super User Posted September 13, 2007 How much y'all think this one weighs? Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 This is my biggest LMB so far. This is my biggest smallmouth. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 13, 2007 Super User Posted September 13, 2007 Aaaaaaaaaa...Nice fish! Great pics! 8-) Catt, Sorry, got sidetracked. I'd guess your bass goes 3 easy... : Quote
Super User T-rig Posted September 13, 2007 Super User Posted September 13, 2007 Mrs. Matstone, did you catch those bass with a rod and reel or did they just jump in your boat? ;D Catt, that fish weighs around 5.5lbs. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 13, 2007 Super User Posted September 13, 2007 7.8 Personally I think the scale was broke.......... Welcome aboard! Fine fish. 8-) Quote

That's a nice fish but still not 12lbs. 8lbs. max. That 7.8 looks bigger then your 12 . http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f77/EADracing/7.jpg Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 This is my biggest LMB so far. This is my biggest smallmouth. Maybe its just your camera but that fish seems very dark...I wonder how much it weighs....Probably 9-10 lbs Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks everyone. T-rig- I don't have a boat, wish I did once in a while though. I caught both those fish from shore. I usually am wading which is why I am wearing a swimsuit in the smallmouth pic. I don't have waders yet but hope to before winter comes otherwise it will be a little chilly in the water. ;D FivePoundBluegill - You are right about the first two pics they are dark. It is because they were taken from my husbands camera phone. One of my daughters had my camera that day. I believe that the fish was about 9 or 10 pounds you are correct. I did not have a scale so my husband measured it. It was 25.5 inches long and had a girth of approx. 18 inches. Guess we will never know how much it actually weighted but I really don't care. It was just very cool to catch it and release it. Here is a pic of me sending that fish back hopefully maybe someday my daughter will catch him too. That would be even better than me catching that fish in the first place. Quote
32251 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Mrs. Matstone. Beautiful pics! .....and the fish are nice too. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 14, 2007 Super User Posted September 14, 2007 On average, 25.5" would be around 10lb 4oz. Print this chart out for future reference: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9222.html You'll notice 25" = 9 lb 10 oz. The difference between 24.5" and 25" is 10 oz. Adding the additional 1/2", 9-10 + 10 = 10lb 4oz, but that may be slightly underestimating actual weight. At any rate, a GREAT fish! Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted September 14, 2007 Super User Posted September 14, 2007 I love how everyone always uses the "i'm not holding it out, and i'm a big guy defense" that fishes head is right next to mine. that is what a 12+ will look like. oh and coincidentally, I am 6'8". Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 14, 2007 Super User Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks! That's a beauty and a great example of "perspective". Quote
JCrzy4Bass Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Dang on' Bizzle! That is a pig. His head is bigger than yours, he could probably swallow you face first up to your neck!!! Quote

BAM80 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 7.8 Personally I think the scale was broke.......... Me Too! i woulda guessed somewhere closer to 9 I didn't think to measure it but by using my fingers as a reference its aprox 23-24 inches long. Oh well I'll just have to catch it again Quote
Super User David P Posted September 15, 2007 Super User Posted September 15, 2007 I love how everyone always uses the "i'm not holding it out, and i'm a big guy defense" that fishes head is right next to mine. that is what a 12+ will look like. oh and coincidentally, I am 6'8". Tis a true Giant. That is a GREAT picture to go by when guessing weights. There is no way that "12lb bass" looks remotely near the size of bizzles. Bizzles fish could inhale that thing in an instant.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted September 15, 2007 Super User Posted September 15, 2007 my 7lb+ giant (my scale was being funky that day, it was at least 7lbs...i know that) Quote
Senko4life Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Fourbizzle, that was a ballsy move, I would be affraid of that fish taking my head off!!! ;D Quote
