basslover, if you going to buy a digital scale, let the shop test it before you buy it. I have one of those Berkley Lipgrip scales.
Found out it shows 200 grams more :fst:. Even after swapping it out twice:?

Okay so how do you know it was the same fish? -  Was it wearing a Numberplate???????:fbash

Someone on the 'other' site posted a picture of a fish that looked around 5.5kg's at least in the photo, but he said he weighed it on a spring scale at 4.7kg's. We all nailed him on the use of a spring scale and he got very offended thinking that we were saying that he was over dramatising about the size of the fish. We were actually saying that he's scale had UNDER weighed the fish, but oh well, that's a long story.

Save yourself a lot of bother and get a digital scale. ;)

This issue has been fought on forums for years all over the world, and ultimately, you've done the right thing. Set that old spring with numbers free. ;)

studpid site maintenance...now i can't look at that pic again.
i'm goin to upload a pic of a fish i caught at inanda on my last trip (it looked big)...and get you to guess the weight. i must just make sure i didn't report that trip to everyone here and all that needs to be done is for someone to go back to that post!:)
the size of ones hand in relation to the fish is often a good indicator, as people usually hold the fish quite close to the camera (extra 2pounds!!). unless you have big mits and played keeper without gloves at school, i'd say that fishy isn't close to 2kgs. those spring scales are useless. But alas, who cares. i know you're not trying to prove anything, you're just stoked you caught it...and we're stoked for you.well done!

I am 6ft 7 weigh 130kgs My mits are humongous and any fish looks small in my hands - Bjorn - guess the weight of this fish 10 to 1 you will be wrong

 
 
Ryan if i can guess.....well i know your quite a big fellow, so i would say thats a 2.5kg??I think im gona be wrong....JUST A GUESS

I went to Allen date's dam late afternoon, it starts to warm up here in the south coast. i took a chance, so i casted a zoom horney toad next 2 a couple of lillies, i caught 2 small smallies of about 1.2kg each, so im glad 2 c that spring is on its way... in winter your chancer are much better 2 go deep for bass, and fish slowly. bass's metabolism slows down in cold water, so they will strike mostly out of irretation. i know its elegal, but if u can find a small live bass, hookem up and wait.
