Guess my weight

[john frum]

Anyone like to guess the weight of this Tench? It's one of 10 that a mate and I caught a few days ago, two this size and the rest only a bit smaller - and nothing under 4lb. We lost about 6 more fish - straightened hooks etc - in weedy water. Total time in the boat about 14 hours though, and it was necessary to change tactics every few hours as they definitely got fed up with the same bait and presentation after a while. The longest day of the year in more ways than one - we were on the water before 4.00 am.

Well I'm not sure that I'm paticularly good at this game but I'll have a go..

 

I would say that, that handsome Tench is around 6-6 1/2lb's... It's always quite tricky to guess weights from photos.

Between 4 & 5lb?

[BoozleBear]

I'd say around 5.5lb.

 

Nice Tench

It looks about 5lb to me

[Patch]

nice one i'm guessing:headhurt: 6 3/4 lbs

[Anderoo]

So are you going to put us out of our misery?

Its a deep fish so Id give it a low 5 - if your scales say more than that I'd get them checked...or deduct the weight of the net !

Does the captor actually know himself?? Having looked at it again I reckon my guess of 6ish might of been a tad optomistic..

I know this has been done a few times before and this could be a pointless excercise. But maybe to illustrate how potentially tricky guesstamating from photos can be have a go at guessing the claimed weights of these three Tench...
