I think your length estimate is a little high but your weight estimate is a little low. I'd guess it's 40-42" and around 25lbs. When I first saw the pic of the NJ state record pike I didn't think it was a 30 but pics can be deceiving. In the pic of the record he is holding the pike closer to his body and the camera is farther away. In your pic you are holding the fish out more and the camera is closer to the fish. Here's another pic of the record where you can see the true size of the fish. It doesn't even look like the same pike. Again, congrats on the catch, that's one hell of a fish!
