That is an old fish. You can
That is an old fish. You can tell by the size of the head compared to the body. It must have been a real monster in it's prime. As a fish ages, it loses it's ability to catch bait fish to feed and it's body shrinks in size. I use to catch Northern Pike with huge heads and small bodies. It is a shame, but that is how Nature works.

TP Hunt is right, thats something that old divers passed along to us new divers I dont have many pics from under water of largemouth bass, but the same is true of smallmouth bass perch and walleyes too.
Rule of thumb my grandfather taught me as well, if you ever catch a fish that its head is small compared to its body size, let it go it's gonna grow bigger.
