Weight calculation for Muskie?

[Winnie T]

Does someone know the calculation to figure out a muskies weight. 50" length X 25" girth. Thanks in advance for any help.
Take care, T

You should look on MuskieCentral, you can go there by linking at the bottom of the page.

Winnie,
I use length x girth x girth divided by 800.
That puts you at about 39#.
If you just caught it, the weight would vary greatly if it was carrying eggs or not.

Thanks Joe. Ya I caught her on Leech today. I was fishing walleyes and got her on a 1/8 green fireball. Took foreever to land her. She didn't have a mark on her. If I would have guessed I would have said around low thirties. Thanks for the comeback.
Take care, T
