They do get up to about two feet long, but they are herbivores and can live solely on plants ... so they rarely get caught, even though there are thousands of them.

I was hoping to try and catch my lifer later this month, but I guess now may be the time ... I will have to investigate ...

Thanks Nick and yes now is the time. This guys are spawning in the marsh near me.
