Weight guess?

[Shadow11]

A friend of mine caught this one today. He was asking what he thought it weighed. You guys would know more than I would. What do you think?

Nice healthy fish ! A fish is hard to guess weight but I’d guess 5-6

 

[fatback]

6.5-7. Hard to tell with that angle. Great looking fish. Congrats to the angler.

 

[Semi-Pro]

7

 

[poor retina]

Agree 6 - 7, nice gut on that one!

 

[NCHillbilly]

I'll say 8-9.

 

[lampern]

5-6

 

[Coenen]

4-5 That angle is really deceiving.

 

[RedHills]

I'll say 8-9.

Me too....I mean his elbow is bent, not straightened out jamming the fish in the lens and its still a good un! High 7 - mid 8.

I'm gonna say around 8. This one weighed 8.5 on one scale and 9.5 on another and it is about the same size.

 

[BoosterC]

Very difficult to say at that angle... I would guess 6 and change.

What did he think it weighed

What did he think it weighed

He was thinking around 6 or 7. That's kind what i think too. Said it felt like 10+ on the line?

Solid 5 pounder.

 

[hopper]

Definitely over a pound ?

Here’s my Allatoona best and she was 7#15oz on my new Berkeley scale . Your buds fish look a lot the same to me, but I agree it ain’t a great angle and a guess is a guesstimation at best anyway. Regardless that’s an awesome Largey!

Definitely over a pound ?

EZ!

 

[Shadow11]

So between 1 lb and 9 lbs is what it looks like.... According to the chinese walmart scales it was precisely 5 lbs 9 oz. A couple of y'all nailed it.
