It doesn't look like 2 lbs to me either... but it might be.
When someone claims a fish weighs 2,3,4,20 lbs... means they haven't really weighed it and are just guessing at the weight. Fish very rarely weigh an even amount of pounds... if someone says this fish weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz., it's usually a pretty good indicator that they weighed it.
An 11 1/2" Redear that weighed 2 lbs. would have a huge bulging belly... I don't see one in that pic.
The attached pic below is of a 13" 2 lb.- 2 oz Crappie I caught (yeah I weighed it). I don't usually weigh my Crappie, but this one was so fat and thick for it's length... I was curious... you can see the bulging belly in the pic.
