Yikes, I know Jerry Garcia got one of these as did Hawk a few years ago, but this is a first for us with one of these deformed critters.

Yikes eek eek

Even though it was booty, I had to kill this thing ... lest we want it to spawn with anything!

I should have the wahoo run going within a few years smile

Nice Mahi Mahi / Dorado / Dolphin fish Bob (they are all the same fish for those that don't know, depends on which ocean you're fishing as to what it's called)

Are they harder to hook when they are hairlipped?

What are your thoughts on whether the "trait" would be passed down to future generations? Maybe he ran into something - or something ran into him?

Did he lisp?

Poor little fish stubbed his nose when he was young.

What the... confused

What a perfectly deformed winter steelie! Or Hooknose, Or maybe someone pulled it up on the bank and bonked the crap out of it, but somehow it made it back in the river to give BOB a RIDE! beer

I caught one like that about 6 years ago on the Sol Duc and it was a native fish.
I missed the bite on that fish 3 times before I got a solid hookup. I couldn't figure out why the fish could chew on my bait for so long and I would miss it?
Once in my hands the reason was quite clear.
One of the weirder things I've seen.
I've never caught one with a would eye.

It's a shock isn't it Bob. I'm amazed that those fish can eat.
