Large Bass Pulled from Lake Gerard

[HerringKing]

I don't mean to be a downer but that bass is under 5 pounds. The size of the mouth gives it away plus its skinny for its length. Its is a very nice bass though, I would say 4-4.25.

A friend of mine owns a house on the lake so we went with them

nbask,

If you have a favorite rod and reel set up measure from the butt of the rod up to the top of the foam/cork handle or some other marking for reference (manufacturer name/rating) and take the measurement. When you forget a ruler, just lay the fish up against the rod for a rough estimate of how long it is.

thanks for the advice!
