Deformed Rainbow

[outdoors]

We caught this 4 lb Rainbow in 240 feet of water east of the canal several weeks ago. I tried to contact the MNR and see if they wanted to see the the fish, no response. The fact it has two mouths makes it unusual, to say the least. I kept the head in case any agency finds it of interest. If not I might offer it on e-bay. (Just kidding)
This was the most unusual deformity I have seen in over 40 years on the Great Lakes. I hope the photo shows up as I argued with the thread program for quite some time to get it in.

Must have been a heavy smoker.

Very cool. I've never seen that before.

Caught a nice king with exactly the same second mouth about 2 years ago.

Here's a king with the same little second jaw. Set this album up with a few interesting finds. Club gill is very common on Chinooks this year. I found both natural and stocked fish with club gills. Some have both sides and some have just one side club gill.
