HI Tia,
that is an exclent question, I would venture to say, maybe two posibly three years. the species would be a real deciding factor, a couple years back one angler pulled up a 500 pound flounder. the one you have could be at its maximum lenth and girth for its species and the fish could be twenty years old. I am sure in a day or so one of our salt water pro's will have a better answer for you than what I can offer. any way congradulations on your catch. those are impresive fishes at the size.

I concur with ya bro. Those are very much like Halibut that we have on the west coast.
On the avereage, they can grow about a pound a year. The 500 pounder that was aforementioned was propbably on the way to a Weight Watchers meeting.[cool] [signature] |
