This was caught in Minnesota near Ely, MN a few weekends ago......some are arguing on one of my canoecountry sites that this is a 9+ largemouth. These are the same folks who swear by the length/girth measurements to estimate weight. NO scale was used on the fish, but they said this fish is 23.5 inches long with a girth of 21. The same length fish with a 18in girth went 8 15.....

I say NO WAY is this fish 21in girth....but what the hell do I know.

I do know I caught a couple over 7 this year from KY that would have EATEN this bass......

What do you guys think..........

Later,
