Guess the weight

Featured Replies

Caught this fish last year at baboosic but i did not have a digital scale at that time i had a $3 kmart special spring scale, lol, and it said it was only 3lbs but now having a digital and seeing all the 2.5lbers i catch i know this was bigger than 3 lbs theres no way it was only .5 lbs bigger than the 2.5 lbers i've been catching any guesses on what it weighed, by the way it was taken with a underwater camera which explains quality and i don't have a scanner so i took a pic of the pic with my cell so thats why it looks bad and that was when i didn't no how to hold a fish too, lol.

Hard to teel from a picture, but "around" 3 lbs seems about right.

I would say about 3 pounds as well....Maybe your new scale might be off showing your new catches as 2 1\2 when they might only be 1 1\2

whats the length ??

what time of year??

I caught one last week that was 20" long

and had 14 1/2 girth'

and it only weighed 3pounds 15 oz.

I would have guess it at 5 pounds..

but it was not even 4 #

----

also.

you can check your digital scale rite in your kitchen..

with ,, say.. 1# bag of beans or macaroni,,

5# bag of sugar or flour...

or what ever you have,,

just remember, the weight on the package is for the contents only,, not the container..

this will not be exact to the 1/2 ounce but will be close...

fish on !!!!

Sorry, but it looks about 3lbs.

looking at the length of the bass compared to your torso, and depending on your height, I'd say the bass looks to be 13-16" long, roughly 3-3.5 pounds.

Maybe the reason why the bass looks smaller than most of your 2.5ers is maybe because you are holding the bass close to you and not out towards the camera.

JMO.

On average a 19.5" largemouth bass will weigh 4 lb 4 oz, 20" = 4 lb 10 oz.

I'm gonna go with around 3.5 as well, this fish doesn't have much girth at all.

im gonna say 3.5 lbs could be closer to 4 maybe but 3.5 is a safe bet

I'm gonna have to go with everyone else on this one, 3.5 would be a safe bet

That fish is about 3 lbs, anything over 3 1/4 I would eat raw.  :o

I would say 2lbs 13oz - 3lbs 7oz

I'd say that's no bigger than 1 lb 2 oz.

Just kidding - yeah, I agree with the rest.  Right around 3 I'd say, maybe 3.5.

do we win a prize for correct guess work j/k  ;) ;D ;D 3.5 my final offer lmao

seems like an on topic question. Any way to get a rough estimate of weight by measuring using length, girth etc...? For example generally a 20 inch fish will weigh X amount of pounds and above.
