25 inches?? thats a beast. if you measured correctly thats gotta be a 6lb fish at least....probably even heavier than that.  usually up here the 4 to 5 lb bass are in the 19 to 22 inch range obviously depending on the girth which can vary considerably.  ive gotten 18 inch bass that weighed 4 1/2 lbs once. smallies may tend to have less girth also.  my buddy recently caught a 5 1/4 smallie that was 23 inches.
