That's a really nice fish, but I don't think it's a good reference to use when judging size of bass. Notice the angle it is held at.

i know it's a hard comparison to make with just pictures but i don't think a pound in weight difference should cause such a noticeable discrepancy in size appearance. nothing against 4 d halibut but i just think he over guessed the weight of his catch. as i mentioned before, it's a nice fish, just not in the 8lb class.

Nice 2 pound pig.

People can guess all the want, but unless any of us were actually there to see it, then I highly doubt any of the estimations were even close. There's no way in hell a 24 inch bass would be only 4 lbs, unless it was malnourished and extremely skinny. Also that pic of a 9 pounder is really misleading considering the guy has his arms outstretch and is holding the bass like 2 inches from the camera.

Regardless, really nice fish.

Since I had no scale I could only estimate the weight nowhere between 7.5-8.5 lbs.

I fixed it for you.

that LMB is bigger than anything I've ever caught....good job dude!!

Still a nice fish, regardless. Hard to find bass like that at alot of lakes, these days.
