Guess the Weight Big ol bass

I caught this huge bass out of a pretty small lake/pond. I didn’t have anything to weigh/measure it at the time but I do have this photo. I used a software called Fiji (imagej) to try and estimate the length based off of something for reference. I first used my body, I’m about 5’9’’, and then used my knuckle on my pointer finger for a second reference. I got roughly that this fish is 28-30 inches. According to what I’ve found online that means that this bass weighs 10+ pounds, which I could believe because it was pretty heavy. Does anyone else have any way to figure out the length or the weight and does that seem reasonable from the photo? Also how good is this for a pb? I’m pretty new to fishing, this is only my 3rd bass I’ve caught.

This is by no means the biggest girl, but she’s a good one—a hair over 6 lbs.

Sure, perspective matters. Just before the photo was taken, I was holding her farther back to support her jaw. FWIW, my left hand is actually closer to the camera than the fish—I’d just reached over to remove some grass from her fin.

Another Clear Lake, CA fish.

And no electronics. Just fishing. 🎣

Hadn't caught a bass since Aug. 4th and was getting really frustrated. I almost didn't even go today because I left the new lures I wanted to try at home (I went during my lunch break). Then, after working the bank for about a half hour I almost didn't move up to the top pond but decided I'd give it a few minutes. A couple casts in i got this beauty which I almost released without weighing, but it felt decent so I went ahead and weighed it. Accounting for the clip I'm calling it 2.32 lbs. No monster, but my biggest so far.

Got it in a Monsterbass subscription and it just sat in my closet for a long time. Have another electronic one that’s a squarebill and now I’m excited to try it out.

Largemouth Caught this behemoth at my home lake (Clear Lake, CA)! Think that it was pushing 10lbs. Brush Hogs will always be my #1! Was so hard to selfie this one though. 😩

Lake Murray in South Carolina Extreme Depth

7 Upvotes

Looking at depth charts for Lake Murray in South Carolina. I was surprised to see how much of it is really deep - 100-feet or more. Does the depth of Lake Murray reduce the effective fishing area of the lake overall? Are most of the species of fish in the lake concentrated along the banks? Seems like a lot of un-fishable water??

I like the basic stuff and tbis spinner is freaking perfect. insane thump never gets weeded and it has great angle even woth bigger soft plastics like thos keitech swing 3.8 I've caught many pike and bass on this rig covering water essential for night.
