      I don't know exactly but based on everyone's input, and the input of Jon baroker from my local tackle shop, I'm calling her 5.5 pounds. Maybe im undershooting ...more but it's gorgeous either way!

      Seen some big smallmouth but none that fat, that's got the belly of a largemouth. Great catch!

      sweet! thanks for the input christopher, I knew I was being modest with the weight. that's great!

      You def under estimated that weight. I caught one just shy of 22" and fat but not as fat as yours and it weighed 5 lbs 9 oz...yours is 6 lbs easy I'm sure!

      of course! I was using a 6 foot 10 inch MXF St Croix Legend Tournament Bass with a Pfleuger Patriarch 2500. the line was 15 pound power pro braid with a 7 ft,or ...more so, fluro leader. the bait was a 2.5 inch Cabin Creek tube in watermelon orange color.

      One heckuva catch man...do you mind sharing your setup...reel, line, rod, name of bait.

      Sad thing is I don't have an exact weight. I know it was 22.5 inches and FAT. Not to mention how wide it was... I'm just guessing the weight and probably ...more wrong.
    18. Nik Rasmussen 0
      yeah she is! this is my biggest yet I'm assuming (haven't gotten measurements of all my big ones)

      Fatty!
