How about a weight for this bass?

[Modest_Man]

Measured 548mm for a fork length. That's 22.6".


In a 15 gallon Rubbermaid tub


About 4" thick.


Huge mouth.


Fat ass bass.

It was released unharmed.

 

[Bassdad54]

5.45lb

 

[tomriker]

8

 

[Finneus Polebender]

6.25

 

[brandon4455]

6.9

 

[waco]

Over 9
Why are you guys getting those fish for? Are you guys looking for some specific fish or some?

 

[tomriker]

you should come shock my pond

 

[NWDiscer]

7.42 lb's thats a nice hawg

 

[colbypearson]

My guess is 7.5lbs.

Almost all the fat 8's I have caught are within a half inch of 23.5", Considering you measured fork length that fish is likely around the same statistics.

22.6" fork counting the solid girth on it I would be almost willing to bet its within a third of a pound of 7.5#'s but thats just my $.02

We're looking at species diversity and species richness. So we a going for ALL fish. But no one wants to see photos of 103 redside shiners!

I think you're about spot on - using length x girth calculators I come up with between 7.5 and 8 depending on the formula used. Girth was right about 18.5"

First let me say NICE FISH MAN.....awesome....my guess would be 6.45

 

[Throbbit _Shane]

Good on you for releasing it!

 

[GraphiteZen]

Irish Bend?

 

[Modest_Man]

Irish Bend?

Close but nope! We were at Irish Bend today to tie up some loose ends, only got three bass around 4" each. Looks similar, Irish Bend has a taller bank though. This was upstream from McCartney but below Harrisburg.

If anyone wants to go try to catch it the GPS location is 44°17'43.02"N 123°11'21.01"W.

Holy crap. Awesome!

 

[rl206]

Killifish huh?
I'm assuming someone let them go from an aquarium?
I didn't know those things could survive here

 

[Modest_Man]

Yeah, they're neat looking little guys. We got them lower down, like Newberg area down. Not many but enough! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banded_Killifish
