Up there, about 12 kilos. Down here, maybe 25 lbs

Here's one formula:

Northern Pike Weight

The formula to calculate the weight for a Northern Pike that is 40 inches long and has a girth of 20 inches is as follows. Northern Pike have a shape factor of 1000 and a girth ratio of (.52)

WEIGHT = LENGTH x GIRTH² / SHAPE FACTOR

WEIGHT= 40 x (20²) / 1000
WEIGHT= 40 x 400 / 1000
WEIGHT= 16000 / 1000
WEIGHT = 16.0 pounds
Please Note: A 40 inch pike might be thicker than normal and have a girth of 22 inches, which would make the fish 19.4 pounds.
