My thoughts exactly. Some fish don't drop their eggs for whatever reason. I caught one about 32" a few years back and kept it. It had to go close to 18 lbs, and when I opened it to see what it had been stuffing itself on, I found a mass of dead eggs that were the color and consistency of green Pla-Doh.

That fat pig had 7 pogie heads in it. No eggs.

On the other end of the spectrum I had a 45 inch fish Sat that was only 28 lbs. was healthy and swam away strong.
