Wow! Two pounders are super nice fish.

If you get a chance post some pictures. I would love to see them.

I'll let the experts say for sure the life span but I was thinking I had read about 6 years. If that is the case yours are getting towards the end of their career.

The maximum lifespan of a HBG is estimated at about 8 years.

That is kind of sad I knew they would not last forever.
