Some of the largest line caught fish here in Colorado have been grass carp in the 50 pound range. How old do these carp have to be to get this size?
Suppose we put 8" to 10" TGC in our ponds.The next year they have doubled in length and weigh a few pounds. The following year they could be 2 feet long. Another year has them at 30 or so inches and maybe 10 pounds or more.
If their growth slows after this, how old do they have to be to reach 50 or even more pounds? Anyone have an answer for this?
