Funny, we had several for a few years, one of them got huge and then for no apparent reason it did the same thing, jumped and knocked it's self out, kept it alive for about an hour by holding it up right near the power head so the flow would go through it's gills but it never recovered :(
Never thought at the time but we should have measured it
 
i saw a bala shark at Sea World. It looked well over 13" and super thick

wish i got a picture
 
That was a big Bala. Sorry to hear that it died.
