Went out tonight and only managed to get one dink within the first couple hours. Decided to stay after dark anyway to see if the bite turned on and managed to hook into this chunker fishing a black jitterbug. Of course being by myself I had a hard time getting a descent picture to show its size & I turn on my scale to weigh her and my batteries are starting to die.   Anyways she measured 21" and it's going to bug me not knowing how much she weighed as it may have been my PB.

 

4lbs easy.... Maybe more

There are length to lb charts available online if you Google them. They might not be completely, down ro the ounce accurate, but I believe they are pretty reliable. 21 inches on a healthy bass is no doubt a 4 pounder at least, and depending on other factors, could push 5.

A 4 lb bass is a very nice catch and I can only hope to ever catch one that big.

Congrats on a nice bass.

Very nice catch.  In my area a fish that measures 21" is going 5+ easy (unless it's very skinny).  That fish looks healthy.  Again, nice fish.

Yeah, I'm going to go with 4+ and would fully support you telling everyone 5.

Lol.

Nice fish! Congrats!

Thanks you all. My PB is 5lb 4oz caught on a shallow square bill that fish wasn't quite as long but had a lot of girth. This one had the biggest mouth of any bass I've ever caught & fought hard!

Great topwater fish.

Congrats on catching the fatty!  It's not Saturday night at the Chinese restaurant either!

Good fish, alright! Nicely done!

Thanks again for the kind remarks. Only got out for a couple hours tonight managed to get a few with the biggest being a 3lber. Having a hard time thinking about anything but fishing after last night though. I need more fish that size!

 I need more fish that size!

 

Don't we all?
