Didn't have a scale. Anyone guess how big?

Featured Replies

any measurements? I'd say 4#. You could definitely hold it to look like 6# though :)

I like the color of that fish. That's a pretty area you are fishing too. If your four fingers are about 3 inches across we could be looking at an 18 inch fish which would generally make it under 4 lbs unless she just had a monstrous girth which doesn't appear to be the case here. If your hand is wider than that she could be 20 inches and definitely in the 4 lb range.

im gonna range that within 4 to 5 pounds  :) nice fish

3-3.5 would be my guess, doesnt look like she made 4 yet

That bass looks a little thin so I would guess 4-4.5 lb

Fattened up, 6-7 lbs

Appears 4 to 4.5 and great photo too  WTG

Nice fish !

I dunno.... I'd say it's somewhere between 1, and 13 lbs :)

Hey I did have 1 little devious thought though....

I bet if somebody posted a nice (lets just say 5lb'ish) fish, but said, "Sorry, I didn't have a scale... Wanna' take a guess" ?

And, with everybody knowing it really is a nice 5lb'ish fish, they all said, "Oh.... maybe 1 or 2 lbs"...... ::)

.........how long do you think it would take, for the OP to get a scale ? ::);)

For myself, a scale + a back-up or two, and a camera + a back-up, or two, are as critical, and important, as my fishing rods themselves.

Here's my little Pelican case {waterproof, shock proof, dust-proof, heat insulated... I LOVE these things} that goes with me on EVERY fishing trip, without exception. I also carry a couple disposable film cameras in my tackle bag, and two Berkley digital scales. The scale I keep in my Pelican though, is a Salter, which has been certified by the Dept of Weights Measures.

PS, Even more important than everybody else knowing how big your catch was.... Is YOU knowing how big your catch was ! Heck, what if you go out and catch your PB.... and then you can't even count it !!!

20.294 inches and 4.437 pounds...just an approximation
