It is not uncommon for some hatcheries to have a strange fish or 2 in their batch. For example I have seen yoy LMB in with FH and BG in with FH. Also HBG in with BG and RES. GShiners in with BG and CC in with GShiners. That often comes about because hatcheries don't always sterilize their ponds.

Yes that could be a 2 year old LMB in a fed pond especially a new one with faster growth.
