    Default 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, It looks like a cross between a brown trout and a dorado. Jim

    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    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.
