9 pounds, 8 ounces.
But ... if I am right, you can give the flies to second place.

... No, my friend. I've got my favorites that I fish with (three, actually) ... and RARELY use anything else. I rarely even use the experimental ones I tie myself.
I've also got two display boards from the swaps I participated in ... but they aren't hung up because I have too much stuff hanging around already. 
I am sure there are plenty of members who'll guess better ... and who'll appreciate the flies more.

8lb 8oz. Though I suspect Mike is not far off.

I guess it could be between 6-10lbs. The pic can be deceiving due to how far he is holding it out from his body.
There have already been guesses if 7-3, 8-8, 9-8, and 18.
So, I'll go the other way with 6lb 8 oz.
