You see some nice bigger dovi in captivity, has anyone seen a big male with the large head like the wild caught ones you see on the fishing shows?

If so post pics.

My male is a little over 14 inches long and he has a bump on his head but I would love to see somebody with a huge male with the big head.
 
How big is big? Like comparable to this? These seem to be the largest I can find from fishing photos, and they're not that big (when compared to several Amp. species) so I wouldn't expect captive raised ones to be much different.

I was hoping somebody's captive monster may have a head similar to your pictures. I am hoping my male will size up soon.

Even the big one in the 600 did not have a big head?
 
Mine may get there. He is not a foot long yet.

nice fish, big bodied
 
He was born with a slight spinal curvature, which makes him look different. It really isn't that bad, and like you said, he is a nice fish. I don't think he is gonna max out in length like other dovii. His personality is great!
 
It's weird. I've got a 15-16" male with no hump at all, and a 7-8" male with a pretty good sized one. I can't wait for the little guy to grow another foot!
 
Nice Dovii darthodo, his coloration is unreal!
