[QUOTE="nathanielrthomas, post: 181925, member: 1207"] I read that males mature(sexually) at 6 years, and can live up to 26 years. Females mature(sexually) at 14 years and can live up to 50 years. They are slow growers, and they continue to grow throughout thier lifespan. Females are larger than males, so the pictures of trophy size fish are usually females. It is believed that it takes at least 30 years for a fish to reach 200lbs, so your right on the money ibursell. I also read that biologist believe this fish can live up to 90 years, so that may explain the near 400 pounders you hear about. But Im sure habitat and food availailty plays a vital role in the growth rate. The oldest alligator gar ever caught was 50 years old. [/QUOTE]
