These figures follow widely published largemouth bass data (In-Fisherman and state fisheries agencies) for a fish in average condition. They are length-only averages, so treat them as a starting point rather than an exact reading.

Why your fish may weigh more or less

A chart can only show an average, because two largemouth bass of the same length can differ in weight by 20% or more. A pre-spawn female loaded with eggs, a fish fattened on a rich food supply, or simply a deep-bodied individual will all weigh more than the table suggests. Water temperature, season, and region matter too, which is why girth — the distance around the fish at its fattest point — is the single best predictor of true weight.
