Big Bass? Maybe

[2kj]

Let's talk size. We all know American's exagerate the size of the bass they catch on some of the WFN shows and of course haven't we all about the one that got away. I just want to see what your perception of weight is of a commonly caught fish like a largemouth. How much?

12lbs easy!!!!!

[Guest Rapala Boy]

There are two types of Large Mouth in North America, the Northern Largemouth and the Florida Largemouth. The Florida sub-species grows much faster than the northern (what we have here is the northern).....

That's better....I'll say 5 1/2 lbs.

[Harrison]

4lbs +/- a couple ounzes.

American's exagerate. Stick around a while and see that green carp are not the only kind of fish that are exagerated.....

Wouldn't be a fishing tale otherwise.

lol

 

or you could just say that the florida bass are only known as the florida bass because their growing season is year round. where as when the ice hits our water our bass ALMOST stop feeding.

 

i say 25lbs 25oz and measure it to be about 19' LOL

[Joey]

6 lbs.

[chuckymcd]

i would have to say 5 1/2 no more then that still a big fish tho

[Terry]

if you are 6ft, it could be over 5 lbs

[EC1]

I'd say 4.

Only problem is, over the weekend I saw a picture that was supposed to be "an 8lb+ fish", but I called it out as a good 5+.

[Jay T]

He is aprox the same size as me, and he is holding it about 12-14" away from the body. I say 4 1/2 lbs max.

[bassman87]

This is The Matrix, and there is no bass.

[Stoty]

I'd say between 5 - 5.5lbs

Nice fish for sure!

Exactly right!

[mbosh1980]

op, do you have a weight on this and are just testing our perception, or are you looking for an estimate because you aren't sure?

For reference I thought this one was easily 5 lbs when I caught it but weighed in just shy...

I'm 5' 10" and not holding it out all that far (I know it looks it).
