I caught my biggest bass ever on a yellow bronzeye frog around some lilly pads. How much do you think it ways? I wish I had some better pics but I wanted to get it back in the water quick after it took mea a while to get the frog out of its throat.

it's sooooooooo hard to guess weights from pictures, but if i HAD to, i'd say around 6.

I would agree anywhere between 5-6 pounds depending on how big your hads are. Nice fish! I busted out a mann's hollow body fish today but my biggest was only 2 lbs  :-[

Nice job man. Here's my estimation: I'd give it 4.75-5 but only because its a bit skinny. Little earlier this year and that fish would have gone 5.5-6. That picture isn't straight on so it makes it look a little longer. Only a guess its nearly impossible to tell from pictures.

I was out there today but only managed 5 small ones from shore. Didn't see you- I was there in the evening. It was very crowded when I was there. Nobody caught much besides me (saw one or two other fish landed).  All of mine were on the inside edge.

Weight doesn't matter, memories do  ;)

With this said, I would guess 4.5-5 right now as she is all spawned out.  I bet that fish could go 6-7.5 with egg though.  Great catch!!

MDangler14, I got there about 6:30 AM, and caught 3 more nice ones, but had a bunch of misses on the frog. they're so fun to use but all the missed hookups get annoying sometimes. There were a few other small boats out there that were catchin em pretty good. i even saw two guys in a small boat almost land a GIANT pickerel. All i saw was its head but it looked like the head of a really huge pike.

I wanted to get out there early but I had just been rockfishing all day on the bay the day before and was just too tired. Hopefully i'll run into you out there sometime.

I second that, looks anywhere from 4-5.

Has anyone figured out how to take a picture with a digital camera, which includes you and the fish when your fishing alone.  I have tried sitting it on my tacklebox and using the timer on the camera, but that is nearly impossible to get a good picture.

Average egg weight adds to Bass: 10% of body weight - hence, if the Bass's norm is 5 pounds than egged up she would weigh 5.5 pounds. The average count of eggs is 4000 eggs per pound of fish.
