Bijeezerz he looks ancient!
That could be one of the oldest Convicts around... seriously.
Was his jaw always so decrepit too?

That is the biggest con I have ever seen! He's huge!

Congrats on such a beefy beast!

that is a huge convict, I have a 3 yr old male convict that I thought was big, but I have a long ways to go to catch up to anywhere near that beast

Some days when I come home from work I see him laying on his side, and check if he is still alive. I know one day his time will come, and I will miss that little fish.
His jaw is messed up from when he was really aggressive and tried to take on a large texas. He is nearly blind, it doesn't stop him from eating

I'm sure yours will get there. Just give it time.

11 years is some serious dedication. From one con lover, to another, congrats on one of the top two, most jaw dropping cons I have seen. The other is one that is like 12".
