We caught our first fish over 50 pounds on Lake Livingston Saturday. I'm guessing it was a big male because its head was very muscular and much larger, plus it had a very dark blue color. This fish must have been very old. It was blind in one eye and its fins had almost deteriorated down to nothing. Other than that the fish appeared to be very healthy and put up a good fight. Do you guys know how big the males get? Catching a male this big gives me hope that there are some giant females in the lake.

Chris Look at the head. If the head is way out of proportion to the body then it is a male. The males have a 60 pound head on a 30 pound body, LOL
Color should not matter.
