Cudz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ok I don't want to be consedered a liar and by no means am I. I can see where my other thread is heading with the guess the weight of my friend's LM. So I started this one to somehow show that I am not BSing. I know the weight of this fish. take a guess. This just lets us understand that we are not that good at guessing. I do realize that pic size, angle of camera, distance from camera can all make guessing difficult but give this a try.

Rich Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm done guessing. Once again, the "raised over the head" angle is another misleading one, a Bob Izumi trick. It's big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 that's a lunker, the guy can fit his fist into its mouth with room to spare. Nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was going to say 9 lbs.....nice fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 No question in that pic you can see it's a BIG bass..you would immediately think in the 8+ range, and no surprise to hear 10, considering how far away the pic is. Too bad the other thread is getting all the action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ok... but can y'all guess the weight of this MONSTER? 1 "Attaboy" (gratis) to the one that comes the closest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Come on GCD everyone knows you're holding it close to the camera so it looks 3". Looks more like 2 to me. With it being the size I believe it is, i'd say 12lbs Edited July 24, 2008 by Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwl Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was going to say an easy conservative 8lbs or so, I caught one over 7 last time at my trailer and that one is bigger than the one I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyHerc Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just look at the size of the hand in relation to the head of the fish, not the guy holding it. I guessed this at 11 pounds before reading the actual weight. It's not hard to guess a bass' weight if you are aware how deceiving angles and backgrounds can be.
