well done mate, you deserve a medal... that's real dedication to 1 fish, how long do they live?
the key point to what he said though is average .8" a year which mathematicaly makes sense. if you were to graph the age growth rate relationship of this fish he took the secant line between the point he got it and the current day. this slope would in fact give you the average growth rate of this fish. However, if he took the tangent line at each year the slope of the line near the beginning would be much steeper then the line now as the fish would have grown much faster the first year as you stated. So technically you are both correct just making a different argumentIt doesn't really work like that. I'm sure they hit 15" very quickly.
Anyways, 16 years? That's awesome.
What size tank is he in?
That last picture is awesome, the gar, the bass, and Vikings in the playoffs. Does it get any better?
