"oh look another measly 6lber" yawn!! 
Honestly a big fish for me is anything that isn't a dink especially in Massachusetts and especially with the slow decline of our fisheries all over the place. If I catch a few 3 pound fish I am ecstatic for about a week afterwards and take plenty of pictures haha. I get out there just to catch them. Fishing is fishing. If I catch a Larry that's 4-5+ I am like the "Blastoise Kid" viral video. Haha. This is me; below, when I catch anything over 4-5 pounds lolol.

This is a great thread! After I finally owned a scale, I just started weighing everything, and now I have a pretty good idea of what size fish I'm catching just by looking at them. I'm pretty happy with a 3 pounder, and have never caught a bass over 6lbs, so I would say if I catch anything in that range, I'm having a good day. I put down 5lbs on the poll, because I think that's a good benchmark in this area. I know not everyone measures/weighs their fish, but even when then catch a 'big one' they say it was 'right around 5lbs'...just looking forward to the time I can get out and break a PB or put up a solid bag at any lake I fish.

This is great.
I agree my mothers neighbor said he caught a 7or 8lber at this old fishin hole I know. If u have never weighed a fish u will always think it is bigger than it is. I have a pretty good idea now after a yr with a friend with scale. Before though could be off by a pound and a half sometimes and that's a big dif. Haha need me a scale.I've caught a decent amount of fives but not to many 6s and only 1 over 7.would really love a 6 but them 5s been tough this yr n they still get the juices flowing!
Ive caught 5's 6's and 7's, All of them give me a rush, all of them are big fish.......But I'm looking for my 8's, or maybe a 9. ......They are around, just elusive
BINGO! AGREE!! Any bass over 6lb is like catching a trophy especially if your fishing a BOW where a 6lb is a rarity. Hooking a 7+ is when the real rush kicks in.
