5lb bass
Not only is it my third bass ever, its 5lbs+! I caught it at this unknown under-fished pond that's so small only a handful of locals think to fish there. Supposedly there's a 9lb+ in there to. Its chock full of bass. In the summer on a bad day you'll catch 3 or more 1lb+. On a good day you'll get 5 or 6 bass.

Nice bass. Awesome lure i catch all kinds of bass with those.
Congrats on the great catch, Keep it up
nice fish, keep finding places like that.
nice bass, not quite 5 pounds, but a nice one
sometimes it those little, out of the way places that give up the fish...
Seriously 5 pounds? Not a chance. Also 5-6 bass a day is definitely not a good day. That's pathetic. Please get a real scale and stop posting these false weights because you're way off kid.
I hate to say it that is no five pound bass. I see at the most 14-15 inch bass, I just caught a bass(5-30-09) that was 21 1/4 inch that weighed just over 5 lbs. You have to realize alot the users on here have been fishing longer than you have been alive kid.
I would have to agree with BlackDiamond 5-6 bass a day is not a good day, infact I would have to say it was a terrible terrible day fishing. A good day bass fishing is 30-50 bass kid!!
Ok Guys, be nice. So the kid exagerated a bit. That's what fishing is! I hope for his sake the 5-6 fish a day is not exagerated! Nice fish kid. Keep at it!
I'm not trying to get this kid hopes down. You have to be realize if a kid is over estimating now, no one will belevive him when he actually catches a monster fish when he gets older.. That bass might and that is a big might, be 2 pounds adding 3 pounds is over exagerating is like saying a 12 inch spread buck to a 20 inch spread buck. There is a little difference.
hey nice .5 pound bass jagon
Nice fish kid, sure it alteast felt like 5 pounds on light tackle. Good job landing it, some people make many mistakes and loose fish. you did just about everything besides your estimate of the weight right. use this site for a decent weight calculator. http://www.lunkerlink.com/calcuweight.html
a 22" long 15" girth bass would weigh approx 6 lbs.
I like that lure you're usin' I catch tons on those.Maybe not quite 5 lbs,but keep at it,I'm sure you'll get 8+ lb bass if ya keep at it!Good job,the fish looks about 4 to 4 and a half pounds,which is still a nice bass!
this picture is so ludacris i cant even comment on it and keep a strait face....black diamond funniest comment i have ever had the pleasure of reading keep up the good work. anyway nice 20 oz fish.......good stuff
COOL
sorry but, that's 2 1/2 pounds
at least a 2 pounder
no way nice fish tho
Not a 5 pounder but still ok
It's a very nice fish and a fish to be proud of but im sorry to say that there is no way that that fish is 5 pounds. It's a cool catch but its probably between 1.5 to 2 pounds at the most, unless you manage to stuff alot of lead down it's throat.
By the way, if you would like to see what a five pound fish looks like, look at the picture to the left of this comment. That fish is 28 inches and just short of 8 pounds.
Lol I use bass that size for bait :)D
dude tht isnt a 5 pound bass maybe 2 pounds not 5
coho310 it aint 4 to 4 and half either
So he exaggerated the weight. He is a kid and is obviously excited about a nice fish. When I was his age 5-6 decent bass was a great day. Lets not forget that we all started somewhere. Nice catch kid. Keep working at it and you'll start catching fish that really do weigh 5+.
bigfishguy is right, 2lb, 2 1/2lb at most! But it's still a great bass, I bet it put up a great fight!
definetely only 2 pounds kid
Sorry kid, but that bass is not a 5lb bass. Now if you want to see what one looks like, then look at my picture to the left.
and if you want to see a song bird killer also look t=at his pic, jk fishhuntkid but dont be cocky nobody lieks that, and id say it prolly 2 1/2, and 5/6 a day is fine the lake im on has horrible bass fishing, most the highschool bass teams weighed in at like 13 lbs or somethin i think
Not quite 5ib but we ALL exagerate
I would be willing to bet that bass is under 2lbs. I have quite literally caught crappie larger than that fish.
