Female for sure.  I guess it could still be holding eggs.  Kinda looked like it.  I wonder why in July it would still be gravid....but I did see male redears on the nest within the last week.

Looks to be a female...still holding eggs?

Congrats on the PB!

Just over 12 inches, and weighed 1-7.  Best body condition by far that I've ever caught.  Shoulda got an overhead shot to show the width.

Great fish Bruce! As luck would have it, I got my personal best red ear today as well! I'll post some pics here soon.

Great fish...foot-longer?

That's a great shellcracker!! Congrats.

About half the size of Fish Chris's fish, but my best all the same. :-)  The Hawkeye shirt is being worn because I knew I was going to be getting fish slime on me, and I had to choose a shirt that I could afford to damage. LOL.

Wow Bruce, what a shellcracker! What did you catch her on? Congratulations on a great fish! Hawkeyes huh? I grew up bout 45 min from IA City.
