Need help guessing the weight of these two bass, both caught bank fishing with light tackle, fantastic fight. First bass was 23 1/2" and I'm guessing 7lbs. This was already my new personal best bass.


And as if it wasn't already a great day, I hook this monster that took a good 5 minutes to reel in with my 6lb test line. Measured 25 inches and I'm guessing 9lbs



Here is a picture of a tape measure next to my pole (this is how I measure fish when I don't have anything)

All in all, the best day fishing in my life, only downside is that I forgot my go pro at home. Oh well.

Hard to tell on the weight, I always guess to light anyway. Both very nice fish, from the bank?

Great job on the PB! I am going to say 7lbs on the first and roughly 8.5lbs on the second. Those are just best guesses, and if I was you I would stick with 9lbs!!

the 25 inch bass normally would weigh 10 or over.. but not real fat... still would call it 8.5.. once in a lifetime fish to catch one 25" and the other one looked 7 to 7.5lbs...
