[Slyster]

5Lbs 3oz

What's the prize?

[shortfatguy]

The prize is getting to be right. everyone likes that dont they?

I'd say 5.5lbs and 20 1/4" long. Awesome fish no doubt!!! Is that a mine pit bass?

[shortfatguy]

nope not from a mine pit. small little lake in the middle of nowhere. here is another pic to help with the guessing.

[Duffman]

I'll throw out a 21 1/4" 5.7 lb.

Looks like a long fish that's a tad on the skinny side.

Sweet fish!

[LEECH21]

20 3/4 inches and 5# 7 oz

[jeffyo45]

I am going to buck the trend and go smaller. I will say 19.5" and 4.6#'s.

[Deitz Dittrich]

This one is really hard to say... like said before looks a tad skinny.. but still a monster... I'm guessing 19 3/4" and 4lb10oz

[Tom Wilson]

I'm with Dietz on this one--nice fish, big head--nice and long, but really skinny. I'm going 4-7 to 4-9.

[Pig_sticka]

4lb 13oz and right near 20in.

duffman hit the nail right on the head! she was 21 1/4 inches long and that would put the weight at around 5.7 lbs. I didnt actually weigh her since i dont know of a portable scale that wont harm the fish with some sort of hook to hang them by... if anyone does have a safe way to get the weight let me know!!! this was one of 3 fish over 20 1/4 we caught that day!!!! (the pics of the other are under the photo sharing bass catagory) good guessing everyone!!!

[Dan Thiem]

I have put the fish in a Wallmart bag and the weighed it by the handles on the bag.

[shortfatguy]

hey that might work!!! the bag doesnt remove the slime coat from the fish? i suppose if you were to wet the bag first it would help. thanks for the idea.... now i just need to find a plastic bag big enough to hold the big ones!!!

[Cooter]

Sounds like one great day of fishing! Nice fish, but I would guess if you had a scale it wouldn't have made 5lbs - someone's got to be the critic, right! But since you didn't have one, you can always go with 6lbs

[Duffman]

I caught a 21"er last fall that had a big head and shoulders and was even skinnier than the fish above, it was very sickly looking and it still came in at 5.1 on the digital. After looking at the photos again I'm going to drop my weight estimate down a couple tenths to 5.4 or 5.5lbs.

Just got off the water, four small bass, and it's hotter then the dickins out there. To those that are fishing this weekend, good luck and get out early.
