    Re: Tilapia fishing in Brazil

    Wonder how old? Mine are big, and getting bigger...but not that big. Look at the belly line. It doesn't fill out like bass or catfish that have food readily available. I first thought this, when observed my own, was that I wasn't feeding enough or high enough quality. But even in my very well fed breeders the slight concave belly is present. I am going to assume that they have a slightly longer growing season there than I do here, and IF, really big if there....but if the grow rate per year is comparable I would think that's at least a 4-6 year old fish. Does anybody have a more credible way to guage growth? Size reference is a problem, but that's a smaller framed woman...so I am guessing about 20" or so in length.
    I know most fish age is determined by the spinal vertibret, but that's not really an option here.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."
