6/28 I drove around to a couple places I like to shorefish, with no luck other than a rock bass. I was driving home feeling kind of down, and decided to throw a few casts at a little residential pond. A couple casts in, this fatty scooped up my jig ;D

How much you think she weighs? My guess was around 4 or so.

Just about impossible to tell how big she is from that pic, but a beautiful fish just the same.

Nicely done.

That picture is an especially tough picture to guess a weight, but that mouth is very big. Just by looking at it's mouth with your hand, I'd say 5 - 6

Yeah, it is definitely tough to tell from that picture. If it helps, and if any of you guys are golfers, my hand is a cadet medium  

I forgot to mention that this was my first fish on my new Revo/Carrot Stix setup. Got to test out the drag too, which I realized was a little too loosely set.

that thing has a really big mouth but it looks skinny from the pic, so i'd say it would weigh 5lbs.

darn good fish!!!

I agree! But then it also depends on the size of your hand. But I'm sure that fish is over 5lbs. Nice catch! 8-)

Nice hawg   I think it looks bigger than 4lbs, I would say 5 to 6.

Very nice!

Realized long ago that I'm really lousy at guessing weights (especially if I catch it ;D). Whatever it weighs, NICE fish...

Thanks guys  

Got her in a couple casts. Went back to that pond a couple days later for an hour and a half without so much as a sniff  :-/ That's bass fishin'.

nice catch! ive had lots of days like that. go fishing at a couple spots, with nada... then BAM! one hefty before the days over.  ;D

Solid 4-4.5lber for New England. Way to go!

This time of year they almost always look bigger than they really are. So many times I've caught some big looking fish, only to weigh them and come up as 3 or 3.5 when they look like 4's and 5's.

(And yes, the scale is accurate  )
