the males get really noticable underbites.

That is a really nice pair, I don't think a 100 was a bad price for that pair.
Nice pickup.

I'm puzzled as well. At the place where I got them they all had protruding lower jaws, much more so than any of pike I've seen. It does make them look more predatory though, so I'm not complaining.

And an update: after adding a massive load of dry leaves yesterday, the water is now very tannin-stained, and the female's belly has become even redder. The signs look good.
