[QUOTE="richg99, post: 280197, member: 4376"] I've caught a few bass like that over the years. In the most extreme case, the head looked like a two pounder.....and the body that of a one pound fish. In that case, it appeared that the fish had ingested a plastic worm which was blocking most normal food down its gullet. More commonly, in my little TX pond, a few years ago, we had a large number of fish shaped like yours. My theory was that they were not getting enough food. Too many bass, not enough baitfish. That condition seems to have cured itself over the last year or so. Now, the fish look "normal" once again. Some of us did start removing more of the smaller fish. Did the fish come from an area that has very few bass taken out? A local parks and wildlife rep here (Illinois) told us to take a greater number of the smaller legal fish out.... to balance our pond's feed stock and population. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
