Here are some formula's to calculate the size of your fish.

Generalized formula for calculating the weight of fish is as follows:
(girth X girth X length) divided by 800

BASS - Weight Calculation Formulas
Length² x Girth ÷ 1,200 = weight
(length x length x girth ÷ 1,200) = weight

You can also use:
(length X length X length) divided by 1600

BLUEGILL - Weight Calculation Formula
(length X length X length) divided by 1200

PIKE - Weight Calculation Formula
Length³ ÷ 3,500 = weight
(length x length x length ÷ 3,500) = weight

TROUT and SALMON- Weight Calculation Formula

(length x girth x girth ÷ 800) = weight

WALLEYE - Weight Calculation Formula
