I know the big bass often times seem bigger than they are. I think you are a bit on the heavy side for your bass weights. My biggest of those three species are:
Largemouth- 20.5" 4.5 lbs.
Smallmouth- 18" 3 lbs.
White Bass- 16" close to 2 lbs.
Without a good scale they do seem heavier than they really are, especially because pound for pound they fight much harder than most freshwater fish. I remember being excited thinking I had caught five pounders just to weigh them at 2-3 lbs.
