Up in cold northern lakes you could find ones older than 15.

Down where we are an old whitefish is probably between 8-10 years old.

Not a ton of info on age distribution especially by latitude.

When I worked on lakes... Lac Ste Anne’s big old year class was about 8 years old.

If someone finds some other info on older whitefish I would love to read it.
