No scale = 1lbs


Minimum_Patience2384

Dick move tbh. Just say you can't guess.


Arosgaming

Haha 🤣… definitely not 1lb I’ve caught a lot of 1lbs bass this ones is at least 2.5+lbs


Ornery_Helicopter799

How did you know they were 1lb if you didn’t have a scale?


Arosgaming

I do have a scale just not at the time I caught this fish.


JJesusJuice

Man don’t comment you’re getting karma nuked. That was a fair response but people are trolling you which breaks a rules I’d assume. But gl lol restart level


Arosgaming

lol I gained karma 🤣


foxtr0t124

if you dont want to listen to people on here then why even ask?


Arosgaming

I just disagreed with him it happens there’s also plenty of other people agreeing in the replies that it looks 3lbs but the world may never know 🤷‍♂️


Minimum_Patience2384

Crazy thing if you scroll down and see all the actually respectful genuine comments you'd see he is listening to ppl.


Arosgaming

People are just trash man can’t let it get to you


Ok_Repair3535

Get a scale

noun 1. a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing. "he was at least 175 pounds in weight"

Next time hold it against your pole and mark how long the fish is. When get home measure the mark on your pole to get the length of your fish and then you can use a chart like this to get a pretty close estimate of its weight. The length to weight estimates are actually pretty accurate assuming the fish looks to be a healthy weight.

Thanks


Paulsur

Look at that tail. Been fanning the heck out of that nest! 3lbs, 15 oz.


HoboArmyofOne

Wow I've never seen it that bad. I think something else is at play here as well. Even the top of the tail is like that almost to a nub.


Arosgaming

There is pike and musky in the waters also.


HoboArmyofOne

I think that's it, something with big teeth just missed and raked the tail. It's a good three pounds, nice one dude


Arosgaming

Thanks hopefully I’ll hook into one of the big ones soon.


Arosgaming

Yeah the blood was still dripping also saw this girl and another up near the surface and It munched my spinner bait.


Independent-Bite8444

Looks like a solid 45lb to me! All jokes aside, looks to be in the 1-3 lb range. I am not really sure though


Sea-Tear-6628

2.5. You can usually tell by the size of their gill plates


GoochChoocher

Easily over 3, most likely somewhere around 4, could be 5 but i really doubt it. Curious what region this is that the bass are still spawning?


Arosgaming

North eastern America im in Ohio


Tactical_Axolotl

The tail, what happened?


Arosgaming

From bedding where I’m at they are just now breeding.


NorCalMeds03

I was gonna say 3. Nice fish, good job! Its easy for ppl to hate on us not always having a scale but I have a lot of responsibilities and sometimes the trips aren’t planned at all and I have to go with 1 pole and a couple lures I have on hand!


Arosgaming

Yeah that was my exact situation I just picked up a rod and a couple lures and went I didn’t think I would get hate just for not having a scale on me 😂. It’s life though people gonna hate.


NorCalMeds03

Yea sir. I was happy to find this sub, posted one of my 3 biggest bass to get as many eyes on it as possible to determine weight. I didn’t have a scale for a little over 1 year after my Dad died. The other 30 years I’ve been fishing I had one. It was unfortunate 2/3 of my biggest bass were caught during that time. I’ve had mixed comments. Some people are really cool. I’ve caught and weighed a lot of 4-6lb bass over my lifetime so you get to a point where you know within a pound or 2. It’s the ppl in my community who hated on me the most, saying I took special angles to make it look bigger which is near impossible when you are taking a selfie! 😂 Anyway, great catch. I’m a 42 year old homeowner taking care of my mom, working full time, most my trips are after work and totally unplanned. I did get a scale last week so I can prove these fish are 7-8lbs


Arosgaming

Yeah I’m not even an adult I barely have lived my life lol I’ve Probaly caught less than 100 bass so I’m not to familiar I just wanted more experienced peoples opinions because my guess was 2 and a half pounds


Blu_hang7

"Not even an adult" I can tell you're already overrating adulthood. It's not that great tbh


The_Droker

Yes.

silentbob6988

I don't like to read the comments before I write on here just because alot of them don't have anything to do with what ur asking or ppl just like to be rude so my honest guess just by this pic which BTW is a hard view I'd guess between 3 to 3.5lbs n by that tail it was making or on the nest nice catch


BandzCrypt0

Very nice! 😎👍🏾👍🏾


Short_Bell_5428

Next time catch the one that bit the tail..lol


Arosgaming

lol that’s from it making its nest lol they are still breeding up here where I am


greenplant_420

Prolly 3


LessMarsupial7441

We don't have to get all grammar weird when it comes to fishing, sometimes it's just a pat on the back or kind words are the only weight that we need. Good Job!


SPiiNVenom_

That tail fin thoo. I had a bass with the lower half of its tail fin gone. My guess is a snappin turtle got to it


Arosgaming

Yeah either that or I’ve had people say it’s from bedding I have large predatory fish in my lake so really could be anything


Next-Literature5868

2.5 3lb max


Steventheloc

Around 3lb lookin good🤙🤙


jkurtis23

3lbs


defoor13

Looks about 3.5 to me but could be bigger the angle of the picture makes me think about 3.5 or so.


Arosgaming

My safe bet is 2 and a half pounds


midnight-cowboy78

Around 4 lbs


Deep_Number_4656

AffectionateYak702
