What is this Fish?

[Lmarthe]

I was fishing a small glacial lake near Hope and caught this fish. It has the pefect rainbow coloration and matched the rest of the fish in the lake , but had the large hump and curved jaw of a salmon. Wondering if anyone has seen anything like it.

Looks like a Hali-Bow...........


Just a deformed rainbow.

 

[Sea Ranger]

Thats the shortest fatest little rainbow ever. Weird or what??? ... hope you didn't eat it...lol.

 

[Lipripper]

And yes... its just a rainbow with a major spine problem

 

[Discus]

That is a deformed rainbow trout. or a culled trout!

 

[Sharphooks]

Frankenbow....it's scary it has an adipose fin. If that length of orange twisted braid you're holding is what you used to hook it on and fight it, it must have put up a hell of a fight!

It could be a hunchback triploid rainbow. the triploid don't spawn so all the hormones go into growth. This one looks like abnormal growth to me.

Quite common in Dips too

 

[rendraW]

Humpback trout lol

Damn Lippy, I was gonna say it was one them fancy Turbot fish ;-) heh heh heh

 

[Lipripper]

Ahhh yes.. the fresh water ling

 

[Karma-Kazi]

Im calling it a columbowian (Columbian-bow) LOL

KK

Creepy, looks like its mom may have had some dinner, a movie, and then got intimate with a bass.

 

[Seafever]

That is a female Coquahalla Piranha...........this specie does not have the teeth of it's South American cousin...
However if you mouth the letters "DFO" while looking at it when alive, it will go into a raging "nibble' attack....

 

[Hookin'up]

looks like either a rainbass or maybe a bassbow to me

 

[Island Fish Lifter]

I think it's a pink

 

[profisher]

Its a BC Piranha. The DFO labs have been hard at work developing a new fresh water species for the extreme recreational fishermen. The extreme challenge is that this fish fights back.

 

[sammyslabber]

It's an escapee from a rainbow trout fish farm; even trout farms spread diseases

 

[Englishman]

Just like people, trout come in all shapes and sizes. This is just a short, fat, dumpy one....LOL

 

[SteelyDan]

I took a **** in a lake near hope once, might be the offspring lol
