Hey guys, I was just wondering what you would estimate for the weight of the Muskie I caught today on a nightcrawler harness fishing for Walleyes on ten pound test. She was a beast and took 35 minutes to land! I am now in the mood for some Muskie fishing! Thanks guys!

The main page has a calculator. I got a 46 by 22.5 that worked out to 29. 11

Plugging your fish into the formula, it comes out to 29.74 pounds. Congrats on the nice fish. Maybe you'll catch it again someday when it's even bigger!

I wish! I have only caught one Muskie out of Bago, and it was a 27"er. I caught her up north somewhere... Thanks guys, I found the calculator right after I posted this! I am still considering a replica. What do you all need to get one? Is there a price difference, and do you guys think I can get a bigger one? Thanks guys. Lance

congrats, to get a replica you need a picture and the specs that you already know. go to fittantereplicas.com to look around. or another idea is to look at customfish.com, pretty cool idea.
