[King Bait Co.]

I can't figure out the weight on this bass. My scale battaries whent dead at the lake. I forgot my messuring board in the boat. A guy let me use a tape messure I messured it a little short he wouldn't pose for the picture long enough. So this is the best I got with out hucking him across the lake after he bit me. Yes they will do that sometimes. I belive he is 20" to 19 1/2" long. He was extremly heavy and a double wide for his size. I belive he is five pounds or a little more. In Nebraska you get an award for five pounds or 21" bass. I am not sending the picture in for one. I didn't have the Game and parks book with the form in it. It was not weighed.(newbie fisherman asked for scale and gave me a tape messure didn't have one or why he would need one) So the guys that saw it coundn't sign the witness part of it. I couldn't take it from the lake they have to be 21". I just need help with the figuren out the weight. I have try'n for three years this is my fourth maybe. The other three have been dropped back in the water becaues of butter fingers, 1/2" short and light on the weight and line broke when lifting it out of the water. Thoes three are belive to be at judgment of others who saw it happened. I do agree with them that they were big but I won't say five pounds. I do have the picture for this bass but I also put the first one I caught of the night. I got two missed a thrid at hte end and it was big as these two I used a buzzbait a foot of the rocks they were all less than twenty feet apart from one another.
