Guest 2uniq Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Not really a brag post, I just caught and released her today. Unfortunately since I was ultralight fishing, I didn't bring any scale or tape measure. I remeasured a portion of my rod, and estimated about 18". Any guess on the weight? Thanks in advance.

bassfanatic25 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Around the 3lbs mark I would think. Nice Fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I guess I expected too much, the fish fought like a 6 pounder haha It's a smallmouth, they always fight above their weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I would say 3lb 8oz. Something in that 3+ mark. Maybe if the fish was fat like many smallies take the shape of it would/could be a 4. Nice setup btw. What rod/reel is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatleetboy Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I estimated about 18". Any guess on the weight? When I caught the smallie in my profile pic, my BiL sent me this link cuz all we knew was that it was 20 1/4 inches... By that chart, yours is about 3 and 2/3 pounds.

Mike Pike Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 That's a terrific Smallie and sounds like you enjoyed a nice fight on that light equipment. Congratualtions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaeteriusZero Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) I would say 3lb 8oz. Something in that 3+ mark. Maybe if the fish was fat like many smallies take the shape of it would/could be a 4. Nice setup btw. What rod/reel is that? It is a 6'6 UL Shimano Compre rod with a Shimano Saros 1000F reel. A very light combo for the money, turns average smallies like these into a world record. Thank you all for your responses, 3 lbs. sounds like a good estimate. Hopefully I'll catch her again next year. Edited September 14, 2010 by jaeteriusZero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 3 pound smallie on an ultra light would feel like a 50 pound musky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
