Nice job. That's a great lookin fish!

Nice fish! Are you sure that the scales were right? Looks bigger than that in the pic.

Here is a wierd story about that fish since i've had a couple of it looks bigger that that comments. My fishing partner caught the same fish on Sunday. One of the rare times he went out without me. The guy he went out with only had a set of spring scales and the fish went 8lbs. I have no idea to the age, brand, condition of accuracy of these scales, but when my buddy caught it he was guessing 7lbs. My scales had finally crapped out so on Tuesday before I went fishing I went to Wal-Mart and bought the only digital scales they had. Needless to say they were pretty cheap. Made by Berkley. Anyways only caught one fish Tuesday worth weighing. I was guessing 4lbs 8oz and i'm normally pretty conservative. Weighed it and it came in at 3lbs 14oz. Thought what was wrong with these darn scales, but after studying the fish decided I was wrong. Wednesday we only caught one other fish worth weighing and it came in at 4lbs 8oz. Which was only a couple of ounces of our guess. I haven't thought of an easy way to check these scales yet, but i'm pretty sure they are correct since they are brand new. I will post the pics of the other fish and see what ya'll think.  I think I just lucked out and got a good picture.

Heres the one that weighed 3lbs 14oz.

The scales are probably right a lot of it has to do with the way you hold the fish. When you hold the fish out like you did it makes the fish seem much bigger than if you held it to your body.

Very Nice Bass no matter the weight!!!

Get a 4 or 5 lb bag of sugar or flour and put it in a plastic grocery baggie and weigh it.....  The government is pretty strict on its weights and measures.

Dan

That first fish has GOT to be at least 8lbs.

NIce fish and I have one of those berkley scales and I have paired it against a couple higher end scales and it has been within an ounce.  Regardless great fish, nice little boat, and good picture.  

Great Bass! Congrats!

Checked the scales last night with some 5lbs weights my wife had.  I don't have any weights since i'm already so buff ;D ;D.  Anyways with one weight the scale was 1oz light and 2 weights it was 2 oz light.  For all I know it could of been the weights.  Regardles on a 6lber the most the scales could of been off were and oz and a half.  Thanks, for all the compliments guys.

Beautiful fish! Congrats!
