How big will my red tail catfish hybrid get?

Question

I have a red tail shovelnose cross. I know the red tails get quite large but I can't seem to find much info on the shovelnose hybrid. I've read that the shovelnose doesn't grow nearly as big as the 4-5 ft red tail. I've had him for about 6 months and he has almost tripled in size. Any info would be awesome!
