Nice clam man! Have you had him for 10 years or are you estimating that he is 10 years+?

it hard to tell weight but I would estimate it to be upwards of20lbs. He was as small as the clam beside him when I got it so many years ago. I almost lost him once and he regained his strenth and has not looked back since
