Basshunter.....nice fish and congrats. Frog fishing, as well as top water fishing is great fun. My favorite! I would suggest getting a scale even a cheapo. I would put your fish somewhere near the 4.5-5lb range. I don't want to be the one to burst you bubble and please don't take this as being mean. I think a scale will help you with reference to your fish weights from now on! Still great fish, and congrats!

Im with Mod on this. You should have seen the first "8# bass" I caught... more like a 5

Either way its awesome. Any bass over 5# top water is a real rush

BassHunter, it's a nice fish what ever it weighs. As long as you had a good time catching it the actual size isn't important. As close as I get is a length measurement based on a mark on my rods, a scale weight or picture only happens if someone is walking by.
