I didn't have a scale when I caught this one.  What do you figure that this fish would've weighed in at?   Length = 21 inches.

 

Hmmm maybe 4.5 or 5 depending on the girth?

Five and a half or six

Nice, a night time Lunker....I will say 5lbs but that fish looks healthy and pictures are tough for guestimates, but a 21" length would lead me to believe that it is 5lbs 2 oz. and the .2 are extra points you are awarded for measuring after dark.

 

That fish must have had your heart pounding after it first broke water or peeled some drag...or in a perfect world it was caught on a topwater....Big fish either way. Congrats.

I'd be guessing right around 5 and a half pounds.

It doesn't appear to be pre spawn, but it is healthy looking. I'm going with an even 5.

5.5 to 6. Good 'un for sure.

5lbs 8oz. Is there a prize for the right guess? lol. Did you take it back and weight it or we just guessing? Nice fish either way.

The tape measure weighs 7.2 oz.

Beautiful fish!

nice fish, i wouldn't hesitate to say it's 5.5

Five and a half or six

 

5.5 came to mind when I saw it.

I give it a easy 6lb mark.. Nice thick fish.. Nice and healthy in appearance..

In between 5.5 and 6lbs

4lbs-14oz.

4lbs-14oz.

I can guess why you put that down.......

Hah....nah no prize.  I just never had it weighed.

Well then in that case, if we agree on it, it must be right.   

 

12lbs it is. 

the one in my pic was 22 inches and about the same girth. It weighed in at 5lbs 1oz so I would say right around 5 pounds. Good fish!!

Ima say 6lbs, looks like a fat fish!

I'm going to be conservative and say 13oz
