ive posted my bow a couple times but now hes reaches 15-16 inches. i got him when he was 6 inches and its taken about a year and a half to 2 years to get him this size. my buddy bought his the same time i did and his is about 1 inch smaller but has a little more aggression then mine but here is a few pics.

glad you like him/her. im not sure if its male or female.
catfishlover and davey if you want one why dont you get one. you can catch them up here in the great lakes and i remember someone selling them pretty cheap awile back. not sure if its legal or not but id go catch you one and ship it if its legal.

What size do you usually catch them at?

normally 6-12 inches. lake water getting cold now. they probably moved out of the marina. but next spring will be good again.
 
that thing looks beastly. keep up the good work!
