That bass is an easy 3.5 if its not 4. Definitely NOT 2 lbs.

No offense, but scales are usually not off by 2 lbs, even if they are crappy.  A solid fish no doubt, but my guess wouldn't be too far off from what you're scale read.

lol im not stupid i know what a 2.5lb fish looks like the scale was deffantly way off its a spring type and im pritty sure its rusted inside i realy dont care about the waight i just know it was over three and fun to catch. then again know that i think of it i think the scale has 2 diffrent waight measurements im woundering if i looked at the wrong side ill have to check that out i was rushing to get it back in cause i think it was on a bed

I check my scale every so often I throw  a 5lb weight on it to make sure it is on, I have had instances when I was sure a fish was much bigger than it what my scale said went home threw a 5lb weight on it and sure as $h!t it was dead on. Nice fish either way.
