 Because BTS (before the scale)  This bass was "easily well over 5, maybe even close to 6lbs."

(see below)

Either way - Nice bass Sir

Haha this is so true! I've got a friend who needs to view that chart, he needs one for length though too. He fishes quite a bit but has big eyes. He's usually over a pound or two at least, and over on length anywhere from an inch to 3!

I initially made "The Scale" for ME !  I'm a World Class Big Eye myself.

But it  quickly became painfully obvious, that this is an affliction that many an angler suffers from so I felt compelled to share.

im kind of ashamed to admit that a few weeks ago that i would have guessed that fish to be seven pounds easily.

I kind of get the "Big Eye" early in the Spring after the ice leaves the water, though this year there was little ice to speak of here.  A good scale always renews my perspective.  

To the OP, nice solid fish!
