Yeah Chatterbaits! Nice fish  

If you really want to know how much that fished weighed, you should contact this guy.

Gahlee that dude is famous!

I'd give it 7 or 8 also. Awesome fish!

Thats one nice hawg you got there.  

 I did not have a tape measure on me.

Next time use your line to measure the length and girth.  Just cut the lure off, pull the line the length of the fish and then cut it off.  That's the length.  Wrap the line around the fattest section for the girth and you have measurements even if you don't have a tape measure.

If you just want to get length then measure it along your rod and go back and use a tape to get the length later.

BTW NICE FISH!!!

If only adrenaline allowed for a quick creative solution like that. haha. I would have never thought of that.    He was probably too worried about getting a picture and making sure the big boy swam away alive.

Great fish, congrats!

ERROR:

Cannot compute.

Sorry we don't have fish that size where I come from! ;D

Get a scale - stop guessing. A picture is worth a thousand words as you can tell by all the posts but no one can guess with any accuracy the weight without a great deal of luck.  A camera is a very deceiving instrument.

That's a beaut.  Great catch!

I would have never thought of that.

I got the idea from here!!!  And actually used it a month ago when I caught a nearly 7 pound monster.  I didn't have anything to measure girth so I just used the fishing line.

Whatever the weight on the fish is, that is one nice fish!

That is a solid 7.  

I'd guess 7 or 8. Great fish either way man, congrats! Been a while since I have caught one that big.

Congrats!

x3 big fish

10-11lbs I'd say!!

sir, thats a mighty nice fish. i know from experience those little neighborhood lakes hold HUGE bass, and this is a beauty

The weight is less important than the fact that you stuck a solid fish! Congrats.

Guessing the wieght of a fish from a pic is pointless. Too many variables. For instace, you could have fourbizz holding an eight and it would look like a six where as if Brokeju was holding that same fish it would look like a ten ;D

Who cares? Better than any fish I've ever caught (or will catch) around here. Congrats!

That ones hard to guess but I guess 7-8 from the last photo. and 8-9 in the first one. Nice fish! I have a hard time guessing looking at a fish in person unless I pick it up. 12 sounds much better for the storys though. ;D

Congrats!  giver her another years or so and you will have a 10.  At least you know where to look now.
