HI Tia,
that is an exclent question,
I would venture to say, maybe two posibly three years.
the species would be a real deciding factor, a couple years back one angler pulled up a 500 pound flounder.
the one you have could be at its maximum lenth and girth for its species and the fish could be twenty years old.
I am sure in a day or so one of our salt water pro's will have a better answer for you than what I can offer.
any way congradulations on your catch. those are impresive fishes at the size.
