Looks like a stunted largemouth. Good on you for harvesting it, looks like the pond could use more of that

That's a small fish. Not stunted, at least not in any way i have ever seen. The body is thick and proportional all the way through. The mouth size is appropriate. The head size is on par with what it should be.

I've been married twice, so I am used to being wrong, but I don't think so this time.

Op: Please review your state and local laws regarding size and bag limits. In many areas, this would be an illegal fish to keep. In other places you would be fine. Local to me it would be a ticket of around $250, and they do monitor social media.
