Not sure what bait to tie on? Our Fishin’ Magician has your back!

Ask one question at a time—and be specific.” For example, ask it something like, “what lure should I use today at noon for fishing in the lily pads to catch a big bass“?
Give it a try below 👇 We update the data every week so it gets smarter and smarter as the days go by!
🎯 Estimate Your Catch’s Weight
Not near a scale? No problem. These formulas give you a solid estimate of your fish’s weight based on length. They’re built on real-world averages—so they’ll keep things honest and accurate.
Just measure the total length (tip of nose to tail) and plug it in. For muskies, girth helps a lot too.
🐟 Largemouth Bass
Weight (lbs) = (Length × Length × Length) ÷ 1,600
Example: A 20-inch bass ≈ 5.0 lbs
🎯 Crappie (Black or White)
Weight (lbs) = (Length × Length × Length) ÷ 1,600
Example: A 14-inch crappie ≈ 1.7 lbs
🐺 Walleye
Weight (lbs) = (Length × Length × Length) ÷ 2,700
Example: A 25-inch walleye ≈ 5.8 lbs
🐊 Muskellunge
Option 1 – Length Only:
Weight (lbs) = (Length × Length × Length) ÷ 3,500
Example: A 50-inch musky ≈ 35.7 lbs
Option 2 – Length & Girth (More Accurate):
Weight (lbs) = (Length × Girth × Girth) ÷ 900
Example: A 50″ musky with a 24″ girth ≈ 32 lbs
💡 Note: These are estimates. Girth, seasonal condition, and forage availability all affect actual weight—but this’ll get you close without a scale.
