I went on youtube just now to see a video of a big lima shovelnose. Couldn't find a single one. The biggest i seen was maybe 8"....anybody have pics or videos of the elusive larger lima shovelnose?

I had a 18" Lima. Had him for 6 years before my p bass killed him .... really cool fish! Bought a couple more a while back! They are pushing 8" almost big enough to.go in my 600!

My experience too. Even pics are scarce of these, which makes me think most limas in the trade are in reality elongatus. Colleagues from Europe say they see ~2'-ers much more often than we in the States. M.hiko's link is the one I was going to link.

Mine 7 never exceeded 12".
 
mine was 16" when ex killed it.
