Caught this little beast last night. I packed light and wasn't expecting to get any big ones and didn't bring my scale. But I hooked this sucker on my 2nd cast into a small pond. It's easily the biggest bass I've ever caught. Judging by my photo next to my arm he's about 16-17" long. The lure is a 2.5" pompadour jr. Im thinking he could be 5lbs.

 

Hard to tell from a picture, but I would say that bass is somewhere in the high 2's maybe low 3's. Please get yourself a digital scale and a tape measure so you can get a more accurate weight. It's a nice bass and it beats not catching anything.

I'd guess low 3's, which is pretty heavy for a 16-17 inch fish. A 5 pound bass will generally be in the 20-21 inch range. To give some perspective, this fish was between 18 and 19 inches, super fat, but didn't quite go 5 pounds.
