It took my larger one, about a week and half to eat. One thing that will speed up the process is not adding baitfish all at once. If you add only what he can eat at a time it will make for a good show. He may be eating in the eve hours Ive noticed when the lights go off in my aquarium it becomes a free fall of activity. welcome to MFK
That's a nice fish but I think you need to check your scale. Holding the fish closer to the camera might fool some, but not me 
I’ve never had a problem with a bass not eating. If you hooked the bass in the lip and transported the fish properly is should be fine. Like someone said earlier, bass are very hardy fish. I don’t want to sound like a “know it all” but one true way to tell how healthy a bass is, is the size of its head/mouth compare to its body. If a bass has a small mouth and big body it is a clear sign that the fish has been eating a lot and is healthy and has been growing rapidly. The picture of that bass you caught has a huge mouth for its length. Maybe the fish is used to eating less frequently??? And my best guess on the weight…. 4 lbs at best, but a very nice fish indeed.
