No, this is not a recipe for Bass ...

This unusual pic was sent to me by Clint Skinner from Zimbabwe in September 2010. The Bass was caught by one of his buddies. The split in her side was about 10cm long (the speculation is from too many eggs, perhaps ...). In any event, the Bass had already spawned and was feeding aggressively. She was taken on the surface on a Zara (Zara Spook) so was happy to continue feeding despite this injury. The fish was healthy and well other than the split down her side which was already showing signs of starting to heal. She was released and swam away strongly.

Could be that something had a go at it but the fish was healthy and strong and one never does know. To me she had split from spawning, I have seen it before although only on one other occasion. For the record she weighed in at 3.9kg.
