It's a good sized fish. because of the way you are holding it, close to your body and not held out away from you, and the fact that it still looks big..... It looks all of 5 to me and could be approaching 6. Hard to say though without a "gut shot". With bass ove 20" its all about the girth!!!
first, look at his elbow and shoulder angle, I don't think he was extending his arm toward the camera all that much.
I think the real key from guesstimating a fish is looking at the head. Once the first start getting over the 4lb mark, they seem to start getting a much broader height on their head. Maybe i'm not explaining myself great here but guys who routinely catch 3lb plus fish know what I mean.
From looking at the picture, I would question just at the 5lb mark.
