Excerpt:

So just where would a 2-pound average put you? Do the math. When reading tournament results, see where five 2-pound bass puts you in the final results.

After some tedious research on BassFan and some great help from ESPN Outdoors publicist Kim Jessup, here are some results that just might get your attention.

The Bassmaster Elite 50s are a good example. The series lasted 2 years, with four tournaments each year. Five 2-pounders would have netted you a 1st at Wissota, two 2nds, then one each of the following: 8th, 13th, 16th, 27th and 30th. Not bad for fishing against KVD, Mark Davis, Greg Hackney and the likes.

What about the Bassmaster Classic, the ultimate crown for a professional angler? You would have beaten the best gathering of pros in 2005 by a whopping 17-01. Your finish in 2004 would have been 13th, then 8th in 2003, 9th in 2002, 4th in 2001, and 1st in 2000. You would have also won in 1983, 1986, 1987, 1988 and scored plenty of Top 10s along the way.

So now, just how big is a 2-pound bass? Bigger than most of us think. Is it just possible that we now have proof positive of the age-old adage that fishermen don't tell the truth? I'm not telling.

Reminds me of why women are bad at math...because we keep telling them four inches is really eight

while this may be true for some people I think most guys here who have fished torneys and or weigh fish alot know what a 2lber is to most no biggie. Anyhow I used to weigh everything I cought just so I would get a better sense of what fish weighed. Overall most serious bassfishermen know weights.

Hey let that Bass go I wanna catch her some day
