    I weigh alot of my fish and I have found that pike and musky vary a great deal. Some are long and thin, than others are thick and heavy. Last weekend I caught a 28" pike it should have weighed a little over 4lbs, yet it was closer to 7lbs. Regardless a 49" is huge, congrats

    We're gonna exchange fish pics and I'll post it when it comes in. The funny thing is they boated it w/o a net.

    Me too!
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for my super smooth carbon drag, my 30 year old Trilene would bust!

    Here's a link to a couple good weight calculators:

    Wellsley makes a good point, depending on time of year and food source a Pike's weight can vary a lot.
