wow, its almost as old as some of the people on this forum!
Assuming the growth in that lake (assuming it spent most of its life in that lake) is about the same as it is in torch and elk, they obviously don't grow much per year after about 15

She's 4-5 years younger than what most "muskie people" thought she would be. No idea what the max age would be and it would be hard to even speculate. Given her health she may have had a few good years left but spawning takes a tremendous toll on those giant fish.

Their growth slows down pretty dramatically after 10 or so. 3/4 to 1" per year.
