Want Your Guess at the Weight of This One

[rondef]

Looks like it is time to invest in a scale so you don't have to ask others to guess the weight.  That is a beautiful smallie though.

Thanks for the feedback.

I did buy a scale - just waiting for it to ship now...

Thanks again!

I would guess around 4 lbs.  Nice fish!

** New Information **

I should have thought of this sooner, but I had my wife measure the front of my shoulders - that came out to be 21". While not huge and I am holding the fish closer to the camera than I am - this should give some perspective when I say that this fish was 20".

According to the weight calculator on this site, It came out to 4.8 lbs.

Any new guesses at the weight?

3 - 3 1/2 lbs

Almost three weeks later and it still looks about the same to me.

Nice fish, I'd say over 3lbs. and under 4lbs.

I'll go with Sam 3.78

The cigar? A Punch champion???

Man, you guys are brutal! I can't explain enough how big this fish was. Friends who know me and my size say it looks so big it looks fake. My uncle-in-law caught another smallie one out of the same waters that weighed at 3.5 lbs and it was a lot smaller than this fish.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback! I am definitely encouraged that I have a scale now and will be sure to use it!

The cigar I was smoking is a Gurkha Legend. Great smoke with a lot of coffee overtones that I love! As you can see I was thoroughly enjoying it - right down to the nub!
