    Buddy got this giant this past weekend. It was a little over 20 inches and was very girthy. We think the scale was abit off as it only read just over 4.

    I would 4.5 or 5 at the most. Great fish those Mille Lacs smallies are fun.

    I have weigh a bunch of the ML smallies this year between 20-21″ and 4-4.5lbs is about right. Your scale is right on.

    Looks about right to me as well. I have been seeing the same as sticker. With a couple at 21 inches, 6 pounds.

    I caught one almost exact dimensions that was 4-12. 21 inches Seems to get to 5+ Lbs. Nothing wrong with a 4+ lb smb, we are getting a little spoiled here in MN ;)

    If the actual weight is important, calibrate your scale with a 4lb or 5lb weight and you will be able to figure the exact weight of the beast and know your scale integrity. Nice fish!
