So I don't normally fish the pond this much, but when your 5 year old asks if you can go fishing to "take notes on the fish..." Can you really say no?

Anyway. I caught my first 9" class BG today. A few other 6+ that were right around 100% RWR. This one was at 99% RWR.

My question to you guys... Male or Female? The ear tab and slight darkening of the scale tips in some areas would lead me to believe it's a male, but maybe one that hasn't reach full sexual maturity. Well all of my 8"+ BG have been pulled off of beds. This fish was not. Is it a spawned out female?
