guess the weight

[shortfatguy]

can anyone give me an educated guess as to the size of this bass? I didnt have a tape with me but for comparispn i am 6'5" and weigh over 200 lbs. thanks guys

3 lbs 2 oz

Impossible to say. I have seen pics of fish that looked like 10 lbs but were half that. And I have seen pics of 10 lb fish that looked 5 lbs.

Well, thats extreme, but its impossible to say from a pic.

Too many variables.

Nice fish. Hows that guess?

[SledNeck]

3 lbs 9 oz.

[FI Guide]

Around 3lbs maybe less because it should be spawned out.

[zepman]

Without knowing the length----I would guess somewhere around 3 1/2 lbs give or take. Nice fish.

[EBass]

Yea 3.5 or close to 4. Nice bass though! I'm jealous:)

[LEECH21]

I'm in the same boat as everyone else here, I'd say 3-4 pounds. In the past, when I forgot the tape measure and caught a nice fish, I'd mark the length out on something. Like etch little marks somewhere on the boat or on a rod. I have also cut a piece of fishing line to the exact length of the fish then put the line in my pocket till I got home.

I'd put that fish at 19" or so. I think maybe 4.5 lb. Nice fish.

[Superduty]

I agree with muskyhunter, that fish looks to be 4.5 lbs or better. Hard to say from a picture though. If you're 6'5" and over 200 lbs how did you come up with "shortfatguy"?

[Duffman]

Looks to be about a 4 lber. Could go a half pound either way. Tough to tell without anything to measure it against. From the body shape, it looks like it has matured past the days of being a 3lber. When they hit twenty inches and 5 lbs, the head tends to be a more dominant feature on a bass. I didn't have a scale or tape for the bass in my avatar, I marked it on the canoe thwart and checked it when I got home.

[Lunker]

I'd probably say over 4, but probably not by much. Stomach doesn't look to big. When it's hard to judge, I always look at the fingers. It shows more because it isn't affected by how clase the camera is.

[Deitz Dittrich]

my vote.. 4.25lbs 19 1/4"... a guess.

[JPSavage]

Let me see now ......I think, I think, I think 4.3758lbs ......Am I right?

[Captain B.R.K]

An educated guess, knowing that the N.A.V.Y letters on the hat sit about 3" tall and that you have a good backdrop with the blue shirt making the fish look it's size or bigger.......4lbs or right around there.

NICE FISH!

[mike jupiter]

my guess is that this bass is right around 3.5 lbs.

[bassman186]

Its likely around 4lbs, and around 19-20"

[Cooter]

Since you didn't have a tape lets be optimistic and go for 5 lbs - after a couple beers it'll weigh closer to 6

[Trouthunter]

Brandon,

Remind us all what N.A.V.Y. stands for?

[RowShow]

I caught a largemouth a couple weeks ago that looks pretty similar to this one. It was 19" and 3.8 lbs.

[HawgTide]

Well if you compare it to all the other 6lb'ers and 22 inchers on here, then I would say it's about 6lb's and 22 inches.

[Mark Christianson]

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beeflover]

where's the short fat guy? Looking at the 4 fingers of your right hand I would guess they span about 4 inches, maybe slightly less. Taking a rule your hand measured 1.5 centimeters = 4 in., on the picture. The fish measured 8.5 centimeters. 8.5/1.5= 5.666 X 4 in = 22.6 in fish. If the spread of your hand is only 3.5 in then your looking at a 19.8 in fish

I'd say it's at least a 20 in fish. Now we need someone with a table that compares the weight to the length of bass.

You've got a 4 lb fish for sure, maybe 5. Nice!

[fly651]

2 pounder maybe 3...

[shortfatguy]

wow I just got back home from Iowa and was suprised to see all the replys on here! Looks like this is kinda fun tring to guess the weight/length of the fish... next time i will have to measure it before i post the pic and see who can guess closest. guess that gives me a good reason to go catch another one!
