That's the same thought I had when I asked about the sores - that they might be spawning induced. I would score this BG as immature if he was from my pond at this time of year, but as Bruce has pointed out, there is a lot of local variation in appearance.

I would LOVE to have immature BG that nice looking already. Still working on it.
