Although this juvenile cobia may look small while young, these fish can grow up to be six feet in length and weigh over 100 lbs! Cobias are a fast-growing species that can reach over 17 lbs and 24 inches during their first year of life and can live up to 10 years. Merry Fishmas!

Alligator gar can live for many decades and grow very fast when young, but growth slows with age. Generally, for every additional foot the fish grows, its age doubles. In Texas, they may be found in large rivers and reservoirs, as well as in coastal bays. #25DaysofFishmas
