Gotta be the oldest, longest native male in Texas or a sick native female. Or just a terribly malnourished fish.

That trumps the skinny one I caught last year.
Highly probable that it had a stomach obstruction of some variety.

I have seen fish like this that had plastics in their stomachs. I may get stoned for this, but I filleted one that looked like this one time. It had five pieces of different plastics in its belly.
Wish All Fair Weather And Tight Lines!

You better go to the doctor and get a shot of penicillin or you just might catch something more then you expected.
Probably spawned out and in pour health.

I think fish like that are just old and on their way out. I've seen three fish very similar to that. Really long with a big head but no meat. One was 28" long It was still trying to feed because you caught it but for some reason it aint feeding enough or does not properly digest it's food and get nourishment from food any more. I bet if you would have caught it a year ago, the title would have read more like, LOOK AT THIS HAWG! or something to that effect

We catch all kinds. I wish it well; but just don't believe it will make it. Thanks for sharing.
