The female was obtained May 3 1999 at 18cm and was measured in 2013 at 38.7cm She is still alive.
The male was obtained May 3 1999 at 23 cm and died December 29,2008 at 43.8cm
I owned another male obtained January 4 1987 and that one died in 1998. bought at 10.4 cm and died at 43.7cm

Wow 16 inches that's pretty big. The female is old!

I've seen a 16 inch male butti at my LFS once back in Denver. There is one guy on youtube with a 18 inch butti from what I remember.

yes, I would think a big jag could hold his own with a sub adult butti,pretty easily ...when the butti hits about 12" I would think it's"game on"...with the butti having every chance to be the dominant fish

That is a big butti...Interesting stripe pattern

Do you guys think a full grown jag vs butti who would win in your opinions?

Well considering a truly full grown individual of both specie has the potential to reach close to 2 feet I'd say butti if only because they are built like tanks have nasty teeth, although wild caught Jags have unbelievable fangs

+1 ON PROBABLY THE BUTTI, but it all depends (we all know) on the specific fish....wouldn't want to see it ,some fish is gonna get "boat raced"

 

[Wisconsinbadger]

Yeah they both aren't favorite fish! Anyone have them in ponds?
