barracuda Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Hey Guys, Caught this bass legally while down south a few weeks ago on a LC Sammy 85. It was definitely big by my standards but I'm kinda curious as to how much it weighs. I'm 5'11" and the fish was about 23" long. Anyone care to guess? Thanks in advance!

Raf Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) 23".. but doesnt look super fat. i'd say 4.5-5.5# there are probably more qualified people than me to answer your question tho. Edited May 27, 2008 by Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clampet Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 5.25 lbs. Because I am the same height, and caught a smallmouth of that weight, and it looked sorta like the same size as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It looks long but not much girth, so I would say 7lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_fishin Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 i'd say somewhere around 6ish!, long but not very fat..... nice fish though! Great Catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Wasn't the old calculation length x girth x girth / 850 ? or something like that? maybe it was 800. If your fish was 23 inches long and had a 16 inch girth it would weigh about 7 pounds but that seem high. Maybe you have to divide by 900. Can't actually remember my guess is 5.5-6lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Down south? Ohio fish 6-6 1/2, south of the Mason Dixon line add maybe a half a pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Here's a link to a weight calculator.....if you give that fish a girth of 14"...the estimated weight is 5.6lbs.... http://www.ontarioanglerawards.com/Weight.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It really is a fine looking bass. I no longer trust fish weight calculators. My height and girth puts me at 64 lbs. That's WAY off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
