Have You Seen This FISH?

I posted this pic on my "Dad and the Kid" thread, but I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to see it. The Kid caught it this last weekend on the Henry's Lake outlet, in Island Park, Idaho - the headwaters of the famed Henry's Fork. It was 20-inches long and full of fight. ALthough it appears to be a significant deformity it was healthy and put up a great fight and then released to fight another day. Maybe a Moby Dick wannabe...

Anyone else out there catch any strange looking fish that didn't appear like their brothers, sisters or cousins? Let us know.

Kelly,

Somebody been cross breeding piranha with your cutthroat?

Ronnie Z, When I lived in brown's Mills, NJ I was a bit leery of fishing the lake. No telling who you might dredge up wearing cement shoes. Heard it was a dumping ground for the mob for a while.

You got to admire how tuff fish can be. Defects like that and they endure.
I caught one last year with like half a face. But nice and fat so was still able to eat.
Nice colors on that trout.

i caught a brownie early in the year with a miniature bottom jaw which kinked out to the side, looking from upside down you can see straight to his top jaw teeth exposed. despite the deformity he was healthy.
