I believe anything 5+ is a lunker!  It seems that bass under this size are very common!  I know some of my friends catch 3-4 pounders and think they are 5+ pound fish.  I pull out the scale and they are amazed that the fish are under 5 lbs.

RW,

you certainly are right about that.  i was very dissapointed to learn that all the 6 lb bass i had been catching weighed about 4.5 when i got my first scale.  still trying to get a 6 lber that i know for a fact is that big.  cant seem to break the 5.5 mark, of which i have several.

this is just relaying personal experience and i have no idea about Bobs fish so i hope no one gets the wrong idea.  regardless of what it weighed it sounds like a real nice fish and i hope i can get into one that big soon.
