Couldn't find the other one on here. Anyway, saw this king spawner in Nor Cal the other day that didn't seem to be too disabled with his upper jaw.

Hatchery factory second.
Slipped through QA while heading down the assembly line.

Yeah a hatchery fish for sure at the hatchery. Only one that presented with this phenotype out of ~600 though.

EWWWWWW! Gross!

This guy needs a straw to eat...

Daniel-san, you slipped that hen a JawBreaker!

Those two with the bad jaws look like shakers. Injured by encounters with hooks while young. Saw quite a few in the UW hatchery pond.

I've caught four of these deformed planter bows out of the same lake over the years.
Haven't encountered them anywhere else.

Stonefish. That is likely a genetic abnormality . I think I saw that in some hatchery ponds. Result of inbreeding.

Nonsense! Don't you guys recognize the Washington Lowland Snub-nosed Trout when you see one?

Great specimen, Stonefish.

Thanks....
I figured inbreeding or too many header encounters with concrete pond walls while chasing fish pellets.

that picture is photoshopped...

look at the top of the base of both tails, same 2 black marks...

a buddies springer from this year...




Koke i got a couple months ago.. (obviously was hooked when little, just a weird lookin fish, its jaw was bent at a 90 almost)

Stam,
No sure, but I doubt it.....
In this lake though they are all hatchery clones. No natural reproduction.

Evo,
That damn thing looks like a anchovy on roids.

Saw that one on a fb feed as well, stam. Called around and found the angler and talked with him. Not 'shopped but not real either. Simply an iphone camera anomaly. Older fly angler... on Orygun coast.

Really great guy though!

Cool springer with the split nose (& weird tongue?), Evo.

Got a broadside pic of it?

That split nose was probably from being "shaken" off a hook.

Not a deformity but definitely an interesting way to take a lure.

The spoon went through the bone, not the soft tissue.
