Indiana had a tuff year all around from my own experience and other guys I know who spend alot of time out there. From the concesus I got, last winters open water most of the year did not give the fish much of a break. Is that the reason, got me.

As for the "hump back" and the snub nose, I would have to think it has more to do with them being hatchery fish, then simply saying mishandling.

Jamming a ton of fish in holding pens and the handling they go thru before the ever hit the lake damages alot of fish.

I doubt anybody would agrue that if you ever "broke" the back of a fish during a release, it would ever live to be caught again.

Hey Hoop,

Just saw this.

Hard to say and an interesting comment about hatchery fish.

However, I've caught pickerel with humpbacks before and, without doubt, nobody's stocking them

Sad to say that the spinal disorder of your fish is also showing up in crappie caught in Dewart Lake about 7 miles from Webster Lake. Not to mention the eye abnormalities of bluegills caught in Dewart Lake! Crappies are also suffering from exterior fungus patches. All of these issues have appeared in Dewart Lake in the last 5 years and the DNR has NO concerns or alarm!!! I love living in Kosciusko county!
Nice catch though!!!!
