A semi-digested chicken bone, final answer.

The first spine of the anal fin, i.e. separated from the anal fin by the damage shown. The damage was probably some time ago- however the fin flesh/material deteriorates faster than the bone- leaving the fin spine/bone as a protruberance.

Just a wild guess!

I'd have to agree with Al.

Certainly looks like a detached spine from the fin.

fish4musky1, its probably like you losing part of a finger. You'll live and it looks like the fish is doing ok as well.
