Anybody that's good at estimating give me an idea of what this fish weighs? It was about 20 inches. The senko used was a 5 inch bait. I'm guessing 6+ pounds but maybe that's wishful thinking. This is a Colorado Bass so it's like catching a 10+ in Texas. Lol

I'd say around 5#. Might be a little more prespawn. On the paper chart we use for paper tournaments 20" bass would be 4.7# Nice looking fish either way.

Nice fish especially for Colo. I'd give it 6 pounds.

It was the craziest 4 casts of my fishing life in Colorado. If that ones 6 then I caught two more 5's and a 5.5 the next three casts. Best part was my 7 year old son got to real one in and my gf got to real the 5.5 in.

They all look to be between 4 and 5 but considering the lack of oxygen at those altitudes go ahead and call em 7#'s

Probably 10 lbs. Looks like it goes from your cigar to your belt. 30 inches. Monster.

He said it was about 20 inches. I have caught a 22 inch smallmouth that wighed 6 pounds and were not that fat. Pretty fish.

Yeah ive caught a 9.5, a couple 8's, a 7, and several 6's out of Falcon. That was years ago though. This fish felt a lot bigger than 4.8. I guess I need to bring a scale next time because i'll never know. It felt like a 6+ to me bit it looks like im probably over estimating it.

Re: Can anybody estimate weight of this fish? - 03/28/18 12:58 AM

I'm guessing around 5 as well. If you hold them out a little closer to the camera I would guess 10 or 12. grin

Re: Can anybody estimate weight of this fish? - 03/28/18 01:23 AM

Just under 6.

I'd say 5.10. If I could see the girth of its belly a little bit more it could actually be 6 pounds I mean a really fat fish like that one could be 6 lb at 20 in.

Solid 5 pounder, MAYBE 7 at the most. Either way, I'd kill to have day that good even here in TX! Looks like y'all had fun. That son of yours is gonna be hooked for life now. All it takes is for a kid to reel in that one nice hog and they'll be fishing the rest of their lives....

5 pounder. I caught a 20" on Canyon Lake recently that looked similar during a tournament and official weight was 5.15
