Interesting how in the head profile the big girl has a non-continuous slope between the forehead and the mouth (sorry, don't know correct anatomical terms) almost to the point you could mistake her for a manueli. Wonder if this is something that develops with the huge size or just specific to this specimen and she has always had it. Is your size measurement SL or TL? Very nice fish. I have a cariba at the 8" SL mark right now and she is huge so can't imagine one that much bigger.

I got this fish from Mstiers, its measurement is TL, believe me it dwarfs my 10" TL which is probably close to your fish size, once they get big they grow more in height and width, this fish has a wierd head shape, doesnt have much fat storage like most pygos so it doesnt have the steep forehead, perhaps thats why it looks odd

Lookin good Nate! I am happy to see she has a good home. I owned her for a year and prior to that Joe in Michigan owned her and he got her from an importer. She is a beast! Take good care of her as my family really misses her.
