Just curious how many are out there, and what's the most common deformity.......not to mention it's the easiest way to see if you've caught the same fish as someone else.

This one is a 48" out of Webster last year. Guess the gill plate didn't affect her too much...

Weird deformed jaw on this one. Not sure how it happened but could make a lot of guesses...

That's so strange I'm laughing! Looks like you bent it over your knee, Chris!

Here's another one that may be hard to see. The tail was bent down almost at a 45 degree angle both out of water and when laying in the water.

Let me see if I can find the picture of this fish with a hole in it's side. I caught it trolling and it was very healthy. Go figure because I could put my hand in its side and see all the organs. I am sure it will die from infection sometime.

Here's one we caught a few weeks ago. Check out in the circle, there's some kind of wire coming OUT of the fish. We tried to gently pull it out, but there seemed to be a hook or something like a hook holding it inside. The fish seemed healthy, so being that we couldnt clip it, we just left it in.

Giving my thread a bump. Hoping more people see it and post some more pics. So interesting that fish like this survive to be the size they are.

But I thought these fish were so fragile that they die if looked at wrong???? Just goes to show how tough these guys are.

Here are a couple from 2006
The first is a SKINNY 35"er from the Indain Chain with a hole in it's bottom jaw

The second was a St. Clair fish my daughter caught with a deformed tail section.
Neither fish faught very hard.
