Cecil, thanks!
Esshup, I was just going by it's mouth gape as it seemed larger than others, but I also hadn't caught one that big before. But after your comments of the orange margins, blue streaks, looking at the link you provided and looking closely at the other photos I took, I see none of those (GSF?) traits. I'm still learning on ID'ing fish so thanks for naming those!
I also did not expect (my) Northern BG to get that big, stocking them May of 2013.
My excitement level just increased dramatically!
