Boondog, the 'shoulder' or back-hump on that LMB is huge. That fish is going to get big.
First thing my wife said when she saw the photo, what’s wrong with that fish’s head LOL So I went back through my photos and every LMB that was 15% or more shorter then my average has this same trait. Interestingly those are also my fish with the highest current RW’s but still weigh alot less than normal It’s like they forgot to grow out and grow up instead
I have ask this question before with no response
1 year in which fish is better? 12” - 1.30# (144% RW) or 14.5” - 2.03# ( 124% RW)
I know they are both great fish but which one has the most future growth potential?
