Big Largemouth (guess the weight?)
Hey guys I went fishing by myself today after not fishing for a couple weeks due to constant golf practices. I caught 3 or 4 small ones right off the bat and breaking off an 8 oz fish that had the crankbait that i have owned the longest(3.5 years). So i tied on another crankbait, this time a Manns Baby 1 minus in bluegill. I caught one pretty quickly and then moved to a large drainage pipe in the pond. I had one swipe at it and miss on the first cast. I then caught a smaller one and threw it back. About 10 mins later I reeled straight thru the same area I had a strike earlier and I get a huge hit. Then it started pulling really hard and I couldnt stop it, so I played it out. It started heading towards some weeds so I had to turn its head pretty hard. Thats when it rolled and there was just a swirl of water. Then it jumped and I about crapped myself. Taking a risk since nobody was with me, I swung it up on the bank a got a few pics. I laid it down next to my rod for a length measurement which was 19 inches. It was kinda skinny tho. I realeased it and she swam away to fight another day. How big do you guys think she is?

19 inches probably puts it somewhere in the 4lb and over class.

Nice fish, but it is skinny...3 1/2-4 maybe. I would call it 4, because I'm a fisherman. (for comparison, look at woody's 19+ fish, slightly fatter)

Nice fish, Tom! I'll go with NFE and say about 3 3/4 pounds. I caught one that was 18.75" in length with a 13.5" girth earlier this year and it was 3lb 14oz, so that's the basis for my guess.

I am gonna say 3 1/2, just cause I caught a 3 pound 6 once and a 3 pound 5 once a few monts ago and they were both 18" maybe 18 1/8", and they were pretty darn fat too.
