I catch those all the time on Fork. Kinda sad every time.

Haha, sounds like fun. Hit me up the next time you go! Would gladly take that sadness away!

Skinny 5 pounder! Congrats on a nice Summer bass!

From the perspective of being a 5 pounder you’re right it’s not sad. Most come out of the water looking like 8 pounders but provide no fight. Something is surly causing them to be deformed but I won’t speculate. A lot more heathy fish in the lake for sure.

Plus #1.

Bigger than anything I’ve caught lately. Nice fish.

It's much easier to just not weigh them and tell people what you thought it weighed.

Looks like a 5.5# to me. Regarding skinny, I am yet to see a selfie-style/ held-out pick that doesn't make a fish look skinny. The perspective usual has the lens closer to the head and looking down on the body. I wouldn't say that fish is fat, but it looks decently proportional in the 2nd pic with it laid out in the bottom of the yak.

I could not stop laughing on this comment. Genius.

Not gonna lie...that had me laughing too!

"I didn't have a scale with me but I am sure she was a DD"

"The batteries were dead in my scale but I am sure she was 10+"

"I left my scale at home but 28 years ago I caught a 10 and this fish was much bigger"

"My scale was broken but a friend of mine caught one over 10 and this fish was much bigger"

"I couldn't find my scale but I could put both fists in her mouth so she had to be DD"

pictures pictures????

Not sure where they went. See the links below maybe.
