Put it on a certified scale with the calibration date and then I will believe it.

the best part is the 20 people commenting under it that they caught 10-12 pounders in NJ but no pictures or pictures of 5lbs bass hahaha

Re: A 10 lb. Largemouth???
I never understood why folk weighed fish instead of measuring. Weighing varies so much and nothing represents health and age better than length.
Excuse my opinion. No doubt there's a 10 lb bass somewhere in njs waters. Heck probably bigger. So many ponds and stretches of river in this state blocked off to the public. Gotta imagine what lurks behind those KEEP OUT signs :P |

length is correlated to age class but weight is a much better indication of the health of the fish because unlike people, fish can't get big and fat just sitting around, they have to get out there and hunt their dinner, and dinner has to be there to be caught. bass especially get like this. you fish in a pond without much forage and there will still be bass but they'll be skinny and the widest point will be their heads. but if you fish a better ecosystem with a good forage base, like one of the watershed lakes, the bass look like footballs and are widest at their bellies. comparing one fish of the same length from each water, the stunted pond fish won't weigh nearly as much as the well fed lake fish. even from the same water, with two fish of the same length, the heavier one is the more successful/healthier one. weight is the better indication of fish quality. i've got a picture around somewhere from a few years back that really shows this difference between two identical length bass from different waters. will try to find it.

No doubt if there are two fish at the same length, the better one would be determined by the weight; that's useful for competitive scenarios. |
