[cool][blue][size 1]I think you got it bass-ackward. The males have larger heads and are usually darker grey to black...sometimes bluish. At this time of year, during spawning, a lot of them show signs of battle, with open wounds and scrapes on their bodies from wrestling both with males and females during nest selection and spawning. As we have seen in some of the previous posts, a big veteran male can be really UGLY. The ladies is purtier.[/size][/blue]
