This is from another forum. It looks deformed.
Ever see a fish like this?

No, never have. Pretty well F-ed up. Surprised to see its a nate too... i would have expected it to be a hatchery fish.

Im sure it has nothing to do with genetics. Its lucky it didn't get eatin by something.

It isn't. I'm not even sure what state this is, but the guy said he caught a big trout, and it was a keeper.
** Edit, he did let it go

Yes I have seen a fish like that only it was a few small 10ish inch rainbows out of Smith Reservoir.

I wonder why survival of the fittest doesn't apply here.... I guess nature can be deformed too

Drew the lucky straw, I bet it couldnt out run a seal, let alone a squid. Just lucky. I see it all the time in our culture:think:

If you look really close, you'll see only one tooth too!
Or...maybe it's a salmonid with a Notre Dame sheepskin?

It obviously didn't read the warnings on that bottle of little blue pills! Kinda surprised I'm the only one that figured this one out.

sometimes the deformities becomr the factor that decides weather a species survives or not.Eastcoastborn said:

Looks like it never went to sea and spent it's whole life in the dirty willamette.

Actually, I have a bunch of pic's of trout from the Wood river and Agency lake that look exactly like that! Some of them were 7-8 lbs. and seemed healthy enough other than the deformity. I can't remember what exactly the cause was.....it was the late 80's and early 90's so it has been a while! The native fish in the wood got infected with some sort of bacterial disease from hatchery fish that were stocked in Fort creek on the Take it easy ranch. We were advised to kill all the infected ones we caught!
