IMO… people really dont keep them that long or long enough until full maturity. I had one yrs ago at the 20” mark. Blue fins but still pale. It was female also. Sadly it was eaten by a large catfish… Kinda the same deal with tems. Once they hit 20”+ everyone ditches them for being garbage disposals and out growing the “typical” 300ish gal. Most bass that size don’t take transport well either.
