I would put this in the Bass Section and get some professional advice.

Agree; more than 5lbs.

if your arms were longer that fish would have weighed around 12#. just sayin.

I tried.

And hearts...

Agree with comments above. At about the 4/5 lb mark you should be using two hands. Fish have a ton of variation just like people. Everything from bone density and ligament strength to the weight distribution of the fish is going to come into play. When in doubt, just use two hands.

Yes, this. ^^^^^^

I like to tickle their bellies.

Long as you keep them vertical, they'll be fine.


This ain't good.

It only hurts them when you have a 6-9 lb bass holding it out as far as you can to make it look like a 10 pounder.

Well I’m good then cause I’ve never had that problem

I like giving them something to remember me by.
