BeastKeeper Big Fish Posts: 444 Kudos: 389 Votes: 47 Registered: 27-Apr-2004	i tried the google search and i went to three different sites and got three completly different types of info. the length ranged from 8in-14in-40in. so i have no clue to which one is correct. but the good news is i have an empty 30usg if he only gets 8in, a 75usg if he gets 14in, and 120usg if he gets 40inches. so i just need the dependable info!
