I've been tempted to get the 20 dollar electronic rapala scale but don't know how long it last or how accurate it is. If I get one which would be the best one. So the answer is no I would guess the bass was close to 8 maybe high 7's and definently 8 over the summer and during spawn. I've caught one that was 23.5 around spawn in may from the same pit In 2011 that was 8 or 9 but I was fishing out of my yak and didn't get a picture. That one was the most fun because it drug me around and I had to lip it in the yak
