I think there was a study many year ago about Lake trout in lakes in Canada or the Great lakes that were were dated as being that old but who's to say they can't live to be that old but they get bigger faster than was thought, then live their lives as big lake trout from 16 or so year to 50 years. If this fish was 50 lbs at 16 years old, it makes me wonder if they can get that size even quicker than 16 years, maybe they can do it at 10 years. Since this is a fairly young study, it will likely that many more years of the study and many more fish to figure it out.
Onepointseven- can you share with us a pic of the mounted fish?
