wnspain Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I'm not for sure but it may be just the picture. I've taken a few pictures where the bass isn't really ready to give up and then attempts to shake loose one last time. My guess is perfect timing/angle with that attempt. Quote

Nope, it wasn't just the picture. I was holding it straight down. It had a bad hump back and a crooked tail. It had obviously had a hard life. I felt so bad for the crooked fish I took all of five seconds to snap the pic and release it. Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted June 30, 2016 Super User Posted June 30, 2016 I think he's just been doing too many crunches! I'm not sure what causes that to happen, but I've caught a few that have had similar issues. I haven't seen any that extreme, but it does happen. Quote
Turtle135 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 That is likely a skeletal malformation called lordosis that I believe occurs when they are still juveniles. Still, the bass has managed to feed and grow into an adult. 1 Quote

flyingmonkie Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Incredible! A species of bass that has evolved a human defense mechanism! His appearance ensure he will never be cooked. Quote
wnspain Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Lol, never thought about that but I bet you're right! Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 2, 2016 Super User Posted July 2, 2016 I've caught a few Quasimoto bass with a hump, but never a question mark belly like that. Very interesting. Quote

Catch 22 Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I once catched an offset lmb Top view showed a distinct offset of almost 3/4" on a 14"`er. T22 that fish might show as circle on the df C22 Quote
