CC:
19" 2.5#, Male
Gape: 3" x 2"
Stomach contents: pure pellet food.

Questions and observations:
Would Gape on catfish be measured from side to side? ( I am assuming it this way because of Snakebite's pics above).

LMB would be top to bottom?

On this CC, it was 3" wide when open and at the lips. However, looking further into the mouth, the CC seemed to have a cartilage structure(jaw bone?) that diminished down in size. It was actually 2" at this point, but a whole 1" back into the mouth. Would this not be what really is the restriction of what a CC could swallow?
