We've gotten everything from 5.5 to 10 lbs.
25.5 long 15 girth

Total Length (in inches)-squared, times girth (in inches) divided by 1200. Makes it 8.13lb I've caught a couple that were that long that were 8.25. There was a really long one last night weighed in last night but it was 7lb 14oz. post spawn - summer bass just don't have those thick bellies like the pre spawners</p>

I normally use length x girth x girth /800 = weight That would put this fish at about 7.2 lbs

Both formulas (this one and the one mentioned above) are used. The Florida website discusses in more detail (only somewhat "official" reference I could find quickly): http://myfwc.com/fishing/freshwater/fishing-tips/measure/

Most 25" bass on the Chick would be double digit fish. 15" girth is incredibly thin for a fish that length though. 7-8lbs would be my guess on those measurements.

Digital scales are cheap, and give instant satisfaction. My .02$

14 year old boy caught it from the bank while at his grandmothers house. It was released alive.

The length x girth x girth / 800 method works best on bass-shaped fish, and gives a better accounting for differences in girth (pre-spawn vs. post-spawn for example). Good estimator for those fish that you just cannot weigh.
