The only rtc in those pics to top 50 lbs is the second from bottom. It is the former world record. Look at how they are holding the fish. There's maybe one other close to 50 lbs and that's the second from top. Notice how the rest are holding them out from their bodies. Most look to be about the same size as the hybrid I raised. About 3.5'-4' or less.
 
imo he looks abit skinny in your pics which could be throwing you off.. mine was very "delicate" until he hit 8" now he's a rather stout fellow. They eat alot and often when little. I imagine temps ect play apart in exactly how much they are metabolizing ect.. lots of good food and he'll chunk up and look like the nice RTC he should be.... and the max size these fish are capable of has been beaten into anyone who posts a pic of them on this site, and is Stickied for all to read.. and refered to when needed... may I suggest posting pics instead for the new ariapima owners or alligator gar owners? as both will require a larger tank then an adult RTC.
