How Much Does This Pumpkinseed Weigh?

Featured Replies

9" long, 6" around. Tried the weight formula but it gave me 4 ounces, it can't be that small right? I was thinking like 14 or 15 oz. Crazy thing hit a 5" finesse worm.

Yeah. I'd say just around 3/4lb

I caught a crazy sunfish on a 10" power worm with a 5/0 hook before. Not sure what it was thinking. That one was like 11" and just under a pound.

They put up such a fight you think they weigh three pounds. Just recently caught one like that.

That is a big pumpkinseed, usually 8-9" is as big as they get. I'd say between half a pound and 3/4lb. They don't have the thickeness and width (top to bottom) as a shellcracker or big bull bluegill, so what you have there is a dandy IMO.

 

We got into the 10" bluegill a while back and the biggest was right at a pound.

What he said, a  8.75"- 9" bluegill, based on what I have seen at ice fishing tournaments weighs between 1/2 and 3/4 of a pound, and that's in the winter. In the spring, summer and fall they are a little "thicker". Pumpkinseeds have always............around here, seemed to weigh less, even if they are comparable in length to a bluegill. I'd  say it is on the north side of 1/2 a pound, but not over 3/4's.

I would say 10lb easy.....well after you use it as bait and catch the lunker that is in the same pond :)
