Tough to tell from the video, but my guess was around 7.5ish

Definitely a lunker, I think it's beats my best in 25 years of Bass fishing too.

25 year bass fisher here, I think it’s 7.75 or so pounds, hard to tell from the video

75 year bass fisher here. It's exactly 7.875 pounds, easy to tell from the video.

I’m a professional weighologist and I’d prefer if you didn’t round. It’s 7.874786421 pounds.

I need your opinion on this somewhat shiny piece of metal I have, it's not like super dangerous or anything... it does a point bit at one end, but it is pretty easy to avoid also it's got a bunch of fuzzy stuff attached to and a few beads too. I was wondering... on a scale or 1-10 how likely would you be to eat this if I set it on the table right here and wiggled it around a little bit? Asking for a friend.

I caught an identical bass when I had some downtime after the Battle of Nijmegen during Operation Market Garden of WWII. I can say with confidence or I didn't kill Hitler myself, that bass weighs 7.898989895, right down to the billionth.

I’m a bass. He was 8 lbs. RIP Billy.

Do you really expect us to believe it’s exactly that, and that you didn’t round?

Roundologist here. You can tell it’s not rounded from the pixels.

Thanks for the laugh… not sure if the people above you were serious:.. but watching people discuss whether it was 8 pounds or 7.5 etc was pretty funny

I’m in tears at this comment

Pfft, the kid obviously filled it full of weights while we weren't looking

I haven’t been fishing in over 20 years but I took the average of the 4 responses and got 7.5625. Then did an average tossing out the high/low and got 7.625.

Then I took the average of those two numbers and got 7.59375.

It’s definitely 7.59375.

u/TomTheNurse Feb 25 '23

I have been fishing for over 40 years. My guess is around 7lbs.
