Evolutionarily it may be advantageous for the female to be bigger as a deterrent from natural predators as well as being the egg factory. It costs alot of energy to make and grow those giant egg sacks while the males little swimmers are pretty low engergy cost.

It would be rad if human women were like 20 feet tall. It'd be so easy to look up skirts.

It'll take months of fishing and therapy to get that image erased from my mind!

Troy,

I've caught one wsb that I know for sure was a male. It was 52" and 38lbs. If it had been a female of that length it probably would have been well over 50 lbs. I believe that the female's increased drive to feed is what makes them so much more frequently caught. Males can afford to be more cautious; Females gotta feed the litter.
