Regardless of weight make sure to hold your arm out all the way when taking pics. It adds at least 2 pounds.

Charts are generally good but keep in mind that bass are kinda like people. Not all six foot tall guys weigh 185#. The charts can be WAY off when the fish get up over 22" long. I witnessed a 13.25# SAL at Lake Fork Marina that was 23" long. I have also seen 23" bass that went 5.0# too.

The other common mistake I see is folks don't know how to measure a fish properly. This is the way they are measured in a tournament.

I have seen guys in a tournament take a tape measure and hold it at the mouth of the fish and go up & over the fish to the tail. This adds up to 2" to the fish's length and can result in a souvenir from the GW . frown
