Screwing around in my canoe at a local sand pit I was using a small Black Hula Popper and this beast blew up on it: 
I have no idea how much he weighs but I measured the oar and it was 21 inches long
That was a scary sleigh ride in the canoe. How much do you guys think he weighs this is the biggest bass of my life so far too! |

| Great fish! Not sure on the weight, I'm not good at that. I can relate the ride you get when catching a big fish in a small craft though. Caught a 4lbs 10oz fish early in the year in my kayak. Quite the thrill! |

I would guess around 5. 5lbs or slightly more. It is hard to tell from a photo though. Regardless that is a nice lunker. Must have been fun as hell to see that thing explode on top. Nice fish man she is a fatty.

Very nice. I love sleigh rides . . . something I miss now that I fish mostly out of the bass boat.
Most lmb that I have caught around 21 inches are right around 5lbs, plus or minus a half pound. I would just remember that your pb is 21 inches! That is how I remembered my personal bests before keeping a scale in my bag. |
