How do the rest of your LMB look - condition wise ?

Could be age aggravated by spawn. LMB can lose 30 % of their weight during the spawn. Could be not enough food or sick. I would have kept the fish and done age analysis if your other LMB seem healthy. If she has spawned (likely several times) then her genes are still there in offspring.
