How big is the person holding her?
Without knowing the frame of reference, I'd guess somewhere between 9 and 11 lbs.

Didnt think to measure. biggest fish ive seen caught. We still talk about it and finally found the pic today. So i figured i would put it to see what you guys think.
Big fish!!!! Pics are hard to tell but I would say 10 based on the eyes, jaws, girth, and tail!

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 02:52 AM
Well looking at the pic I would say close to 10. If It would have jumped and got off I would say it was atleast 14 lbs if it was me. something about the ones that get away always gain about 4-5 lbs. nice fish btw

She's a fatty! I'd have to say 8-9lbs but could be more. Really need to get a scale so you don't get poop from these guys!

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:26 AM
Almost impossible to say but my guess would be between 6-8lbs. The time of year can make a difference. They are typically bulkier and fatter this time of year. This happened to me one time and I've never went fishing without checking the battery in the scales first. Most of the time I don't need them but it sure feels good when I do!

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:32 AM
8.5 no way its ten

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:39 AM
Nice fish! Beyond that sorry I can't say. Pics can be difficult to decipher.
I recommend some bogas or cull m rite or really any decent scale if you really want to know weight. A long fish doesn't look as good in pics as a short deep fish. The long big headed fish looks bigger in the water, but the short big belly deep fish does better in most pics. Great fish though!

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:45 AM
I'm guessing somewhere in that 7-11 ibs. range.
Nice Fish, get a scale man.

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:54 AM
15 pounds. Were y'all fishing a creek?
Posted By: Jarrett Latta
Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 04:15 AM
Looks like a 10
Wow, look at that gut!!! And the fish is a heavy one too!!!!! I would guess 8.97 pounds
Posted By: bshield1
Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 02:51 PM
That fish is at least 9 probably pushing 10.
7.12oz - 8.10oz my best guess. Very Nice Bass. Could be in the 9 lb range just as easy.

DD

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:18 PM
I've only caught 1 DD, but about 15 8.5-9.5 pounders on the cul-m-rite. I should stop weighing them because eyeballs I would have 16 DD's. watch my videos, most of those 8.5-9.5 pounders the guide is calling them a DD viewing in person until we put them on a scale.

Measure across your fingers as they are in the picture. It looks like the bass is around 7x that measurement. Then apply it to the chart in the link.

Easy 10, possibly 11.

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 03:33 PM
Man, that's real close to a 10 is my guess. You need a scale bad! Congrats to the angler. Awesome fish whatever it weighs

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 04:42 PM
I'd say 10.5 - 11.0

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 05:01 PM
Easily about 6.75!
Posted By: Slade
Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 05:22 PM
We should start posting pics of bass and have people guess the weight and later confirm the actual weights. I bet we would all be surprised, it's hard to tell by looking at pictures. Once they hit they 6 1/2 range it gets tough IMO

Re: No Scale.....how big is she? - 02/25/15 06:38 PM
Ok I did a littler scale factor and his hand is 1/4". And the fish is a inch and a half. I measured my 4 fingers and it was 4 inches so roughly I would say the fish is 24 inches long. Not sure this helps but when seeing the fish I would've easily said 10 but haven't ever seen a DD with my own eyes lol.
