Male or Female?

[EsoxAngler]

Need some expert opinions. Since picking up the male beast I need to know the sex of my smaller one, not trying to keep 2 males long term.
best profile shot i could get.

Next to a tape when I moved it a couple weeks ago.

I think I agree with female. A beautiful one at that.

5.5" to 11" in two years seem way too slow for a male. Also the body shape looks female to me, but I could be wrong.

[Reptic Fish]

male...

So it is common for a male umbee to show all female characteristics?
