 |
|
Last night I caught my personal best ( Its currently my profile picture). Caught this big guy at Pinewood lake in Trumbull around 9pm. I was using top water all eveing into the night. We started fishing around 6pm after work and we were getting bites and catching decent size bass. I caught four decent size bass before the big one. I literally caught him on my last cast of the night after finishing my last beer. It was pitch dark and wasn't even sure where I casted my lure. I thought I was caught on something , unitl I felt a huge tug on the line. I set the hook and the rest is history.
We dont have a scale and I was wondering roughly how much do you guys/gals think he weighs?

| It's hard to speculate from a pic. Just enjoy your fish catching experience and the fun you had. |

| Did you measure the length at least or the girth? If not then it is just a shot in the dark. Nice fish though. |

We didn't have a measuring tape, but next time I will. Hopefully, I get another big one so I can at least determine roughly how much he weighed.

Nice catch! Yeah I would always recommend having a measuring tape/scale at all times. Besides the pole and reel itself, I always make sure I bring pliers, measuring stick, and a scale, they are just as important....because you never know when you could catch your next pb!

| Nice job! Its hard to tell on the weight of the fish but I'd guess its 3-5lb range. |

I blew up your picture on my mac. From my calculations it weighs exactly, one fat ass, last beer in the pitch black, no idea where I casted last toss personal best. That weighs a lot in my book. Nice fish...lasting memory. Now drop the 20 bucks and get a scale and a ruler for god sakes.
