WSB Sex Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This is just information gathering for myself. I'm not getting into fishery management or any other issue re catch. I'm not stirring shit per se, I just want to know.

WSB bites come and go, and I see big fish landed, both on the web and grrr in person. I don't really care when and where, but what are the ratios of female to male that are "caught"? Every big fish I've seen has been female, either post or pre-spawn.

Does anyone ever catch males?
Does anyone ever catch big males?
Are males smarter or something?
Do females just eat more?

No shit-stirring.

Thanks to those that have wsb numbers under their belts. I can't relate any info. I have 1 legal caught off a boat on live squeed/leadhead. It was 17# and female, prespawn.
