is it me
 

or is that fat bass built more like a tuna?

nice bass Paul :claps:

Not only are they "offf, but they're convinced they're not off."

"Look at the belly on that fish....has to be at least 40!"

It takes catching quite a few fish to be able to get reasonably accurate, and even then knowlegable folks can be off by 15% very frequently.

I had it at 37 pounds before I saw the answer.

Nice fish Paul! Photos can be deceiving!

Indeed. This fish amazed me. i really thought, at first, it was high 30s. When I got it in the boat I knew it wasn't but it just looked BIG. I think the real difference was that it had a smallish head, big belly but no shoulders.

I thought it looked like a forty but had the head of a twenty. I didn't know if it was gonna be high or low, but figured it was deceiving.

Hey, Paul. Are you registered with a tem, or just individually???

Fishing for RISAA this year

First off, how tall are you?:huh:

Lokks can be decieving, I am 6'6" 260 lbs and when I hold a 30 pounder everyone thinks it's a 15.:rolleyes:

On the other hand when Numbskull holds a 30 pounder it looks like a 60. ( shrimp):eek5:

Tough call unlees you have something to gauge it by.

Nice fish non-the -less!
