AllAroundAngler Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I consider this a lunker, but I don't know about the rest of you. I do not have a scale so really don't know the weight. I would guess in the 4-5lb range. It was caught around 10am, directly behind my house. (canal system connects to to the Everglades) Used a 7inch bright green worm on a 1/0 hook, with a free moving 1/16oz bullet weight, 6lb test. So, judging from the picture, how much do YOU think it weighs ?? Quote
AllAroundAngler Posted May 8, 2011 Author Posted May 8, 2011 Actually was a rare occurence for myself, because I pulled this next one out almost in the same spot. About 10 minutes later. Looks about the same size, just wanted to show another picture. Quote
kms399 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 looks long but thin I would say 4 to 4 1/2 always tuff to judge from a pic. a scale is $15-$20 and totally worth it. I know once I got a scale I was really disapointed cause all the fish I had been saying were 5 lbs were actually 4. Quote

I know once I got a scale I was really disapointed cause all the fish I had been saying were 5 lbs were actually 4. Suddenly 5 pounders are 3.5. Pretty funny. It's pretty humbling. Quote
AllAroundAngler Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Unfortunately I did not get a length, but from now on I plan to purchase a scale. I am going to post another picture of a big one I caught around 8:15pm, was already dark outside. I think it may have been around the same size though. Quote
AllAroundAngler Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Here it is. Thanks for all the input fellas ! Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted May 9, 2011 Super User Posted May 9, 2011 Not as big as you think. Invest in a scale. Quote
Fishing N Boots Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I want to live where i can walk in my back yard and catch 4# bass at will lol. Sounds like you got you a good spot, keep posting the good sizes. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted May 12, 2011 Super User Posted May 12, 2011 Your second pic is in the 2.5 - 3 lbs range. In your first pic, that's a 4 pounder; if you're about 6'11" and around 250lbs, that is. Get a decent scale because the truth of the matter is; 99% of 5lb bass aren't. Quote

Most 5 pound fish are are 3 and most 1 hour battles are 10 minutes, I never look at my watch. Quote
SCangler91 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 3.5 to 4 lbs, very similar to a fish I have in my picture Quote
