I was too in the moment to measure but I know it's definitely my best. Caught him on a popper. Any guesstimations? Was a great time fishing none the less! Can't wait to get back out this weekend.

 

Awesome dude! Id say its about 2 1/2 # Looks like a great spot to fish.

Nice catch, i would say around 2 1/2 also..

Cool... I agree 2.5lb. 

I'll say 2.5-2.75

 

Congrats!

you done good !!! Congrats

Good I also say 2.5

Lol call it a 3

Thanks guys.  The next fishing day was just as good. My Dad's first cast he caught an amazing bass, beautiful size. A bit smaller than the one I have pictured above. We both just kept producing good results. When I thought things were starting to get quiet, I saw an odd rise in the water near some weed so decided to send my popper flying that direction. Got real lucky, landed right on top of a bass and he destroyed my popper as soon as it hit the water. Had to drag him through a lot of weed considering the angle I was at. He bent the treble hook that had him snagged.

 

Second day out, and another pb. Not sure about the weights, I just go off visual size. Judging from the pic, you can easily tell this one is much bigger than the last =) Best spot to fish thus far.

It is hard to say what is a pb & what is not if you don't weigh them. Your visual is always affected by the heat of the moment but the scale never has that problem. 

Yes sir, I'm most likely going to get a scale this weekend. I just recently got into bass fishing, so I'm about 6 months in. I suppose you could say within that small time frame I haven't had much chance to bring in a lot of big fish. Now that I am starting to get better and increasing my bites, I'll be needing the scale. I also completely agree about the heat of the moment. The last bass I caught I was extremely excited. It could've been 20lbs in my head at that time =)

A scale is very useful tool to have. Not only to record the weights of your PB, but also to help you realize the discrepancy between what you see and how heavy the fish actually is. For example when someone catches a nice fish and they swear it's a 6 lbr when it's actually just a healthy 4lbr. LOL....
