Anyone have ideas as to why this occurred?
yes I've seen it a few times... according to a marine fisheries biologist I spoke with a few years back she told me not all spawning age females spawn each season even though they develop eggs... the eggs will eventually be absorbed into the body... they turn green as they are getting absorbed.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
