Hope you released him so he could spawn with other blugills...

Tom that is a pretty odd brookie. Neat catch. Of course, you might not want to not keep fishing next to the nuclear plant...

Stocked one just like that in McKean County a couple of days ago.

Egg, Come on Egg, Did you cross that thing with a Pirahnna (sp) or a Pomeranian? That looks like something from "Pimp My Fish": Well we shortened it and we added bigger gills and lights and lowered it . Did it have a dvd player?

That's the first brookie I've seen shaped like that. I've seen brown's and Rainbows though. The dude fishing across the lake from me must have caught one the other day. He yelled asking if they are stocking a new kind of Rainbow that looks like a bluegill, lol. Maybe they are trying to figure out how to make them taste like bluegill.

That fish has a disease called Lordosis. It causes curvature of the spine. Its more common in hatchery raised fish where the fish are more susceptible to the disease.

lordosis is also known as csd (crooked spine disorder)always found very commonly in aqariums. Its a defect at birth and many of those fish usually end up passing away do to inability to swim well and are very susceptible to diseases. Im surpised they even stocked them. Ive never seen it in trout but in blue gills and bass. The fish wont grow much bigger.... always is very easy prey for the big browns.

One time I caught a small brookie that had a kink in the middle. It looked like a double jointed rapala and swam with its tail up at about a 70 degree angle. It was a stange fish that I will never forget. The funny part was I caught it the first day, my grandfather caught it about 100 hundred yards down stream 3 days later and I found it hanging in a tree the first Saturday. May be it had a spine disease or my thought was it got stepped on as a fry and survived some how. Anyway someone thought it was too ugly to live. I have no problem keeping fish to eat but if you’re not going to eat them why is it so hard for some people to let them GO! Take Charge!
