Quite a few years ago, I was told that bass were hermaphrodites. Almost all were born male, but changed into female when they got to a certain size -- near 3 pounds, if I recall correctly.

That theory is discredited now, but it was likely created to explain the vast preponderance of large female bass vs males.
