how big?

Featured Replies

I think that fish is over 10 lbs.  It is hard to tell because I can't see how wide her back is and you are holding her closer to the camera, but her head is HUGE.

Here is a tip if you are ever caught without a scale again.  Cut a piece of line equal to her length, then cut one equal to her girth.  Take a couple of more picture.  One of her back, one of her belly, one from each side.  Also take the pics with her right beside you.  That gives a better reference object so she can be judged.  Orlando Wilson used to say that "Roland Martin has the biggest thumbs in the world".  He would always put his fish up against the camera lense and carry on about how big the fish were.  Disclaimer: RM has caught a bunch of huge bass.

You can then find online calculators or do it yourself and estimate her weight.  Those estimates will get you pretty close.

That fish could have gone 10, but for someone like me, if I don't know for sure, I wouldn't be able to call it a DD just cause I dont' know for sure.

I'd call it 9 1/2.
