Who says pigs can't be caught dropshotting?

Featured Replies

I sure didn't. I finally got the pic of my biggest bass to be caught dropshotting. I didn't have a scale then, so no weight.  I caught all my big bass when I didn't own a scale, go figure. What do you guys think she weighed?

6-7 LBS.

Nice bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a nice hawg you got there.    I am going to say 8lbs.

beautiful fish-thick, fat, and healthy.  way to go man.  i bet that was a great fight on a drop shot rig.

Weight is not the important thing with a fish like yours Frog....it is the 3 majic F's "the Fish, the Fight and the Feeling"  

Big O

I own a scale now. That fish though was maybe the hardest fighting bass I've caught. I had a nice battle with it for what seemed like forever. Thought I hooked onto a big catfish, so I was bummed out, and then I saw her come up and headshake, and the fight was back on. To top that, I was using 12lb Berkley Vanish! The weakest line ever, haha.

Nice looking bass no matter what it weighs!!! Glad to hear you are still catching them!!!

Congrats!

Let's say she is 23 inches long with a total 19-inch girth.

OK, let's use the formula.

Length X Length X Girth = Pounds

         1200

So this gives us

23 X 23 X 18 = 7.94 pounds

     1200

I will give you 8 pounds.

Please double-check this formula as you know your dimensions which can be estimated to the fish and let us know what your formula promulgates.

Great catch!  :)
