[fishhead0103666]

My guess at least 1'-1.5'.

I should have looked at him more closely, I realize now that he appears to be far bigger then a measly 8 inches.

 

[Candy_Land]

He's about 13 inches

He's about 13 inches

13" in water would be 14"-16" if you pulled it out and stuck a ruler next to it.

They are ALWAYS smaller when measured with the same ruler but behind the glass and in water.
