Super User J Francho Posted August 21, 2013 Super User Posted August 21, 2013 Injury, congenital deformity, disease, malnutrition. Happens now and again. 1 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted August 21, 2013 Super User Posted August 21, 2013 I have seen this before as well. J.Franco said it best. Quote
5 Dollar Fishing Game Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 The pond usually has healthy fish in it where I caught her. Maybe a deformity. However, the fight was from a well conditioned fish. I thought my line was going to snap. Seriously........ Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 21, 2013 Super User Posted August 21, 2013 This ugly mutt of a brown trout put up a good fight. BTW, that's laying flat, lol. Quote
5 Dollar Fishing Game Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Francho that's awesome. :-) Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 21, 2013 Super User Posted August 21, 2013 This ugly mutt of a brown trout put up a good fight. BTW, that's laying flat, lol. Have any other pictures of that fish? Jeff Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 22, 2013 Super User Posted August 22, 2013 No, just the one. It was around 6 lbs. - not pic worthy. Unusual, but can happen with farm raised fish. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 I've seen a few pike like this from my lake. I believe when they're very young and get hooked aggressively it may damage the growth on their upper mouth. Just a theory, but thought I'd share on this topic of mutants.That is not me by the way. lol Quote
Super User Darren. Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 I caught this girl today. Has a hump on her back. Never saw one with it before???? Why is this? Quite odd. Seen some strange malformities (sp?) in bass, most, I think, due to injury from water birds. Just don't drink that water, eh? LOL Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 24, 2013 Global Moderator Posted August 24, 2013 I seem to have the touch to catch deformed bass. Humpbacks, sway backs, sawed offs, I seem to catch them all. Most of them will have an obvious sign of injury on them somewhere that caused it. Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 24, 2013 Super User Posted August 24, 2013 We catch small humpback largemouth bass on the Chickahominy River in Virginia, usually in the back of Shipyard Creek. Have been catching them for years. No idea of why the humpback but we just kiss them and throw them back. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Let's add "mr. Squiggles" to the list of deformities. Quote
