I turned one in to the Sharelunker program in 2000 and they took a scale from the fish and counted the growth rings. She was 12 years old.

Guess she didn't make it. Even though its cold these fish need to be fizzed immediately I think for them to have a chance. Don't know the whole story but tpw said over inflated air bladder
