Like it or not, some of us have actually caught and weighed enough fish to accurately estimate an approximate weight by sight. That being said, I’ve seen many professional fishing shows were they’ve caught a 1-1 1/2 pound bass and comment on it as being 4lbs or better. Sounds better to the audience, but really stretching the truth.
Grandpa I use to think it was crap also.
Then after fishing tournaments for many yr n weighing fish I also got pretty good at estimates
Along with most of the guys.
