We caught this bass ~10PM , July the 14th , 2006 on
Stillhouse Lake, near Killeen, TX - then chunked him
back into the water.

The aluminum net rim measures 22" center to center - so
the bass must be ~ 23" long. It was really fat (thick).

We did not want to take the time to find the scales and measuring
tape, as we really wanted it to survive - which it did:-)

Please post your best guesstimate here - possibly we can come up
with a length and weight range. Just curious:-)

Using estimated girth squared times length divided by 800 yields:

15" squared, 225. 225 times 23, 5175. 5175 divided by 800, 6.47.

So, I guess about six and a half pounds.
