So last summer I caught my pb largemouth up north. I was ecstatic...but also confused. Ill start with how I caught it, it was a textbook spot with submerged timber, about 6 feet deep, and knowing the structure of the lake because Ive fished there so many times (I dont have electronics) remembered there was an access to much deeper water! I flipped in a texas rigged venum craw (watermelon candy red) and hopped it around. 2 casts later I was about to give up but I noticed another hole a little deeper back, pitched her in and shook it, right as it fell my line was being pulled and my rod felt mushy almost, like being pulled through mud, so I swang and hooked into the fight of my life. When I landed her I noticed the bass was not widest around the middle...but fattest from the gill about 3 inches down. It looked like she swallowed a bird or something! Also she was only 19.5 in but weighed 5pn4oz!! I checked the scale and its accurate to a tee. My question is do you think this bass was possibly feeding on a small mammal/huge fish while I caught her? And is that the reason why she weighed so much...I mean, ive seen buddies catch 21+ plus in and weighing only 5 on the dot. Thanks
