How much y'all think this one weighs?

This is my biggest LMB so far.

This is my biggest smallmouth.

Aaaaaaaaaa...Nice fish!

Great pics!

Catt,

Sorry, got sidetracked.  

I'd guess your bass goes 3 easy... :

Mrs Matstone.

nice fish also

Mrs. Matstone, did you catch those bass with a rod and reel or did they just jump in your boat? ;D

Catt, that fish weighs around 5.5lbs.

7.8

Personally I think the scale was broke..........

Welcome aboard!

Fine fish.   8-)

I agree, that's a beauty!

Mrs. Matstone ... very nice ... fish  

TO THE DOUBTERS OUT THERE.  PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT HOLDING THE FISH OUT TO THE CAMERA A LA ROLIND MARTIN AND ALSO  I AM 6'1' 210 LBS.  HERE'S ANOTHER PIC OF THE SAME FISH.  BUT THE REAL WINNER HERE APPEARS TO BE MISTER MATSTONE.

That's a nice fish but still not 12lbs.

8lbs. max.

That 7.8 looks bigger then your 12 .  http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f77/EADracing/7.jpg

Maybe its just your camera but that fish seems very dark...I wonder how much it weighs....Probably 9-10 lbs

Thanks everyone.

T-rig- I don't have a boat, wish I did once in a while though. I caught both those fish from shore. I usually am wading which is why I am wearing a swimsuit in the smallmouth pic. I don't have waders yet but hope to before winter comes otherwise it will be a little chilly in the water. ;D

FivePoundBluegill - You are right about the first two pics they are dark. It is because they were taken from  my husbands camera phone. One of my daughters had my camera that day. I believe that the fish was about 9 or 10 pounds you are correct. I did not have a scale so my husband measured it. It was 25.5 inches long and had a girth of approx. 18 inches. Guess we will never know how much it actually weighted but I really don't care. It was just very cool to catch it and release it.

Here is a pic of me sending that fish back hopefully maybe someday my daughter will catch him too. That would be even better than me catching that fish in the first place.

Mrs. Matstone.  Beautiful pics!  

.....and the fish are nice too.

On average, 25.5" would be around 10lb 4oz.

Print this chart out for future reference:

You'll notice 25" = 9 lb 10 oz. The difference between 24.5" and 25" is 10 oz. Adding the additional 1/2", 9-10 + 10 = 10lb 4oz, but that may be slightly underestimating actual weight. At any rate, a GREAT fish!

I love how everyone always uses the  "i'm not holding it out, and i'm a big guy defense"

that fishes head is right next to mine. that is what a 12+ will look like. oh and coincidentally, I am 6'8".

Thanks! That's a beauty and a great example of "perspective".

Dang on' Bizzle!  That is a pig.  His head is bigger than yours, he could probably swallow you face first up to your neck!!!

BTW...

Mrs Matstone...waders?!...what for?...

Thanks everyone.

I think I'm in love............

7.8

Personally I think the scale was broke..........

Me Too! i woulda guessed somewhere closer to 9

I didn't think to measure it but by using my fingers as a reference its aprox 23-24 inches long.  

Oh well I'll just have to catch it again

Tis a true Giant.

That is a GREAT picture to go by when guessing weights.  There is no way that "12lb bass" looks remotely near the size of bizzles. Bizzles fish could inhale that thing in an instant.

my 7lb+ giant (my scale was being funky that day, it was at least 7lbs...i know that)

Fourbizzle, that was a ballsy move, I would be affraid of that fish taking my head off!!! ;D
