Got my biggest bass ever! Can you tell me how much he weights?

Featured Replies

Got this bass this morning. Was killing it 20+ bass and this was biggest. Other biggest was 20.50 inch and many many 18-20 inch. 

 

So I did not bring a scale only a measure. This fish is 22.50 inch long. I did not even think they got this big here. It was unreal to me to catch this fish!!

 

So 22.50 inch can you figure how much he weights?

6 lbs

Maybe, but it looks post spawn and might be a little light.

I 2nd that. Mid 5's 6 at most. Got a lot of head but not much body.

I'd say 5 1/2, or a shade more. I can't say for sure, but I like how your slippers match the yak?

If the fish was 22.50" long that's a 6.1

Prespawn that fish went 7.2

Great fish regardless ?

Nice fish, no matter what it weighs. Congrats!

 

Here's a tip the next time you don't have a scale:

 

1. Cut a piece of fishing line the length of the fish.

2. Wrap fishing line around the fish and cut it to get the girth of the fish.

3. Use this handy calculator to estimate the weight: https://www.bassresource.com/bassfishing/fishcalculator.html

I'd say 5.8 lbs

That's a nice one.

I caught a 22" fish last fall that was just a shad shy of 7, but it was much thicker than that fish appears to be. I'd say the guesses around 5.5-6 are probably pretty close.
