This is just information gathering for myself. I'm not getting into fishery management or any other issue re catch. I'm not stirring shit per se, I just want to know.

WSB bites come and go, and I see big fish landed, both on the web and grrr in person. I don't really care when and where, but what are the ratios of female to male that are "caught"? Every big fish I've seen has been female, either post or pre-spawn.

Does anyone ever catch males?
Does anyone ever catch big males?
Are males smarter or something?
Do females just eat more?

No shit-stirring.

Thanks to those that have wsb numbers under their belts. I can't relate any info. I have 1 legal caught off a boat on live squeed/leadhead. It was 17# and female, prespawn.
