I think his scale is broken

I may not be able to tell an exact weight from a pic, but there is no flipping way.

Cass, what state is that? State record over 23lbs. I don't think so, that bass might have weighed 4lb at the most.

bassackwards · 02-18-09, 02:04 PM

ha ha no way

MississippiBoy · 02-18-09, 02:06 PM

Nope, not 18. Ain't no way. Look how snaky it is, no belly at all. I'm with bcklash, 4 lbs...ok, 4.5 on the outside.

bassackwards · 02-18-09, 02:08 PM

well yall have fun goen to put me tralier together in the rain so i can go out lator

bcklash · 02-18-09, 02:24 PM

your going to get wet, but I hope you catch an 18lb bass.

sharpe012010 · 02-18-09, 02:38 PM

thats not 18 pounds

woody · 02-18-09, 02:40 PM

Just like a black guy; always bragging about the size. LOL

MrPhotographer06 · 02-18-09, 02:45 PM

lol.

yeah that fish looks no longer than the one i caught. so figure the length around 18 or so.. then the girth is nothing .. just a big mouth.. and no way he can lip an 18 lb bass up that easy

aikenyounggun · 02-18-09, 02:45 PM

yeah... my fish was 25 pounds if that was 16.... i hate bad reporting.... maybe 8 ounces not 18 pounds

jcw1503 · 02-18-09, 02:55 PM

no freaking way...and by the way how is it 6 pounds off the state record when the state record is 18 pounds and 2.88 ounces(Texas) and there is no way it was 12 pounds..give me a break

mont_lunker_hunter · 02-18-09, 03:13 PM

how about the "spider-wine rod" and the show that "Jay Ellis" has??

aikenyounggun · 02-18-09, 03:17 PM

just another thing about that fish.... if he would of put it on a ten foot pole and held it out in front of him it still wouldnt of looked 18 pounds

aikenyounggun · 02-18-09, 03:18 PM

i just looked at it again and it is a long fish but it aint got a pound of fat on it.... no stomach at all..... it pobably read 4 pounds.... but to make the newspaper they said 18

carolina-rig-01 · 02-18-09, 03:55 PM

even roland martin wouldn't have guessed that fish to way that much. nothing pisses me off more than someone who doesn't know anything about fishing guessing a fish weighs more than it really does.

i say 4.5lbs at best.

3dkicker · 02-18-09, 05:10 PM

Either two things happened
1) Reporter was an idiot who had no idea what he/she was writing about
2) The kid did catch a 17lb fish and the picture got switched and the reporter had no idea what he/she was writing about

MississippiBoy · 02-18-09, 05:56 PM

Or...
3) The kid is 8'6"

hey i never thought of that, i bet that is what happened lol.

aikenyounggun · 02-18-09, 06:01 PM

yeah i thought that the kid might be huge but look at his feet..... he wearing like size 7

aikenyounggun · 02-18-09, 06:13 PM

i just figured it out i bet it is 18 inches long..... dude that is the answer.... 18 inches not pounds..... thats perfect ... if you think its eighteen inches that makes him about 5 and a half feet..... perfect for his age...... HA I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

chase_cooley5308 · 02-18-09, 06:19 PM

no way thats 18 pounds! if so ive caught a bunch of 18 pounders haha

Bubba_Bruiser · 02-18-09, 06:20 PM

I think I see a hint of a tungsten block taped on the other side. Kid should be proud though. Kids that hunt and fish, don't have time to steal and kill.

Exactly right, and I dont feel comfortable ripping the kid as a liar until I know it wasnt the wrong picture. Besides, unlike most on this forum I have actually caught larger fish so I'm not exactly jealous.
