Since I am sure of the marital status of my parents at the time of my
parents I am unable to comment on my observations of ultimate sizes and ages
attained by this fish :-)
For the record also, the term "old" when used in this connotation could well
be replaced by the phrase "more mature" and may attract the desired comments
