I think it's from the battles. Look at the various damages not only on the caudal (tail) areas, but also the pectoral fin (below the flap),  and the dorsal fin between the 8th and 9th spines. This thing gone through many epic battles and mate quite a few times.

There's that split tail again.

Beautiful colors on that fish, I wonder if the fin and tail damage was caused by spawning/fanning the bed, or something else? I do see the split-tails on really big Bluegills occasionally.

If I get out the remainder of July it will probably be a crappie stalk on the coastal marsh……
