Why did my 22'' large mouth only weigh 4.11 when that lenght should almost be at 7lbs

Maybe she has been on a diet? Not by choice.

i dont ever follow what the measurement weight says it should be, you wont find any lake that matchs that scale perfectly. it also like i said before could of been a male, so he dont put on to much weight. my 29 1/2 inch walleye only wieghed 7.6 lbs when it should of been like 9 or 10, but it was a male also. depends on alot of things.

A 22" bass should be nowheres near 7 lbs anyways, low 5's would be more realistic, being that yours was 4.11, i'd say it was a bit underweight, that same fish would weigh about 5-5.25 lbs this fall.

Any luck with the pics yet? Email them to me at spinachmno@gmail.com and I'll post them for you.

I caught a 21" a couple years ago, and guesstimated that it weighed about 5-5 1/2 lbs

Still a fun fish to catch
