Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Might hit 3 lbs, give or take 1/2 a lb. Definitely not a 6lbr but a nice fish all the same. Nice and dead I guess we can be happy its not a 6 :-/ I hope he at least ate it. This is a 5,..for reference Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 I think he needs to clean his glasses I'd say you are right +/- Quote
Super User flechero Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 You're right... it's under 3 lbs. No question about it. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 4, 2007 Author Super User Posted October 4, 2007 I think he needs to clean his glasses I'd say you are right +/- lolz i like that one! ;D Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 Two and half, 3 at the most with 6 tungstein sinkers in its belly. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Low 2's for sure. Boy, you're tough,lol,.....someone have too many packages on their truck today??? ;D Quote
MattStrykul Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I'll post a pic like LBH did to compare. I'm 5'4 (not that has to do with much) and this fish is 5.2 lbs.....That fish looks like mid 2's. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 2.5lbs max. This is a 6lber. and I'm 6'1". Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 That bass is around 2.5 LBS and is NOT 20 inches.... Here is a picture of a 2.5 LB bass I caught that was 16 inches and it still looks bigger than his..... Quote
TopDog Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Low 2's for sure. Even your a few ounces to high. Im going to say 2 even. Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 A 20 inch bass wouldent weigh 6 LBS anyway. A 20 inch bass would be between 4 and 5 lbs.... Quote
joez2872-ct Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 that bass is about 2 pds heres a pic a little under 2 1/2pds Quote
bassnleo Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I agree it looks like a 2 - 2.5. No way it's 6.... Here's a 3 pounder on my digital scale, it's been pretty accuate when I weighed my catch then weighed them in at a tourney. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 man if that's 6# then i'm catching alot of 6-8 pounders..... Quote
Davis Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 No way that fish is 20 inches either. No way.....Maybe 16 and thats pushing it IMO. I would say about 2lbs as well. lol I think he is well on his way of being a classic fisherman though telling people stories like that. What makes it worse though is that he is showing the picture of it. At least if your going to fib a little, don't flash around pictures like that. Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 On many Texas lakes there is a 14 minimum size limit; I've looked at many a 14 fish and the bass is barely over 14. A 14 bass in Texas is probably 1 ¾ - 2 pounds and this bass is maybe 2 lbs. Also reference the kid's hands; if this bass was 6 lbs plus he would be able to stick his entire fist into its mouth which aint gonna happen with this bass. Also look at the kid's middle finger which appears to be around 3 in length if this bass is 20 you would have to multiply his middle finger 6 ½ times to equal 20. After putting the photo in Paint and measuring the middle finger it come out a little over 4x its length which put the bass at 13 to 14. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 6? No...not a chance. If it was, that would make the fish in my avatar 317 lbs. Fisherman...attempting to defy the laws of physics every day... Quote
JCrzy4Bass Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Fisherman...attempting to defy the laws of physics every day... Haha, so true Chris!!! My fiancee caught a huge carp at Ft Belvoir a few months back got it to the shoreline but it snapped her line when me friend Troy went to net it. Every time she tells the story of it splashing by the shoreline and the 15 minute fight it gains another pound. I mean I know I exaggerate sometimes but I'd say that fish Grimlin just showed is pretty dang close to the one d's friend caught. That fish is a bit over 2 lbs, I'd call 2lbs 5oz or so. Nice fish, but not 6! Ps: Did he end up eating it? Or is he getting a mount...? And oh yea... that pic in my Avatar... 2.5lbs even on my digi. Quote
tntitans21399 Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Here is one I caught that was about 13inch and it was about 1.25-1.50Lbs. His is a little bigger (a little longer looking, not fatter) then this one, so I would say 2Lbs or so. Quote
