Guestimate the weight of my fish

Featured Replies

Well, I caught this fish last weekend, and some of you saw my report in the outtings section, but I wanna know what you others think. How big do you think this fish is? Most everyone thought it was bigger than my scale read, but who knows. I will see if my scale is off when I get to it next weekend. Its a digital berkley one that goes up to 50lbs.

Let me know what you think

I would guess five maybe six but I would think five is more accurate

I gonna say 6lbs. 4oz.  Pretty respectable fish in my book.  I don't know though,  that belly is awful big....Might go 6lbs. 8oz. ;D

I forgot an important detail, this fish had another fish in its mouth, its tail was sticking out of its throat and it looked like it was a decent sized bass in there, definetly wasn't a shad or perch. Keep guessing, your all close

Like I said in the other post .... It looks in the 6.5 range to me.

I'll let you guys know tomorrow, but I'm going to tell you that my scale read this fish as under 6 lbs.  :-[

i have trouble believing that that fish is under 6 pounds :-?

before I weighed it so did it. It could be my scale, but I'll check it and report back with "actual" weight.

every bit of 5  6 1/2 wouldnt shock me ill go with 5lb 9oz

I don't know how big you are and that would  certainly help so here goes anyway---5lbs 4ozs.

I'd have to guess it's at least 5 to 5 ¼, good solid fish  ;)

5 to 5-1/2 range.

5 lb 13 oz.

I based this on the fact that your hand is approximately 4 inches wide which makes the fish about 21.5 inches long.  I plugged this into the weight calculator and there you go!

Awesome fish regardless, but it really looks darn close to 6lbs.

Is she still swimming?

Of course she is, only time we dont release is if our grandpa wants some fish, and anything over 2.5 we put back pretty much no matter what.

Good guesses everyone, but BPM2000 was closest. The scale read the fish being 5.2 pounds.

I'm going back to the lake today, hopefully will catch another biggun.  ;D
