[cool][#0000ff]Here is something from the ESPN Fishing website:[/#0000ff]

[font "Helvetica"][#a50400][size 3]Age and Growth
[/size][/#a50400][/font]Blue catfish grow faster and live longer than channel catfish. They are the largest member of the catfish family. Blues may grow to lengths of over 55 inches and may weigh more than 100 pounds. Maximum lifespan for blues is unknown but is probably 20-25 years.
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Judging by the size, I would say that it is approaching the upward side of the age mark for blues...25 years or so.[/#0000ff]
