Bass Weight Estimate

Featured Replies

I estimate this bass being between 7-8 pounds. Tell me if I am wrong.post-44639-0-21542600-1399775705_thumb.j

Way too difficult to tell by that pic. Could be 4 or it could be 9. Just get a set of scales and you will know what it weighs. Many times those 7-8 pounders turn into 5 pounders and those 5 pounders turn into 3 pounders when a set of scales is put to good use.

You can not afford to know the truth until you buy a scale.

There is really nothing in the pic to use to size the fish against.

Very Nice Bass for sure.

 

I didn't weight this one either but they may have been close to the same.

Like others have said, its really impossible to know w/o a scale. Especially with nothing to reference against, I would guess anywhere from 3 - 8lbs.

I snagged it with a crank bait.

Based on the photo I would give it between 4-5 pounds no more but maybe less

I know the bass we catch in tournaments shrink a pound or so from the time we put them in the live well to the time we bring them to the scales. But I have heard that a bass grows the most from the time you release it to the time you tell your buddies.

Need to know length and girth to estimate weight; L x L x G / 1200 = weight in lbs

Use your line to measure the bass and save the pieces to measure later, if you don't have a tape measure or scale.

Length; measure bass laying flat from closed mouth to end of tail, Girth around the widest area with dorsal fin down.
