Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fishin' 2008

I caught this nice male BG yesterday and moved him to my new pond so he can keep growing without being distracted by girls. IMO he is immature/did not spawn this year, based on coloration and shape (lacks mature bull BG helmet, shoulders, and breastplate).

Please feel free to give your opinions on his maturity status AND WEIGHT. I got an kind of unbelievable weight for him off my digital scales (read it 3 times to be sure I was seeing the number right) and would like a sanity check on how much you guys think he could weigh. I will note that he was very thick.
