Are you sure he wasn't just trying to swim out of your hand???

Maybe a spinal deformity due to an injury as a little fish.

well glad i am not the only one to catch them..but ya know i thought it was boat props did it. the heron theory makes good sense tho

Let's not forget muskies and big northerns, guys. Heck, even a flathead (yellow) catfish could've done wicked damage like that, too. Those flatheads don't fool around.

Boat blade, Heron, Snapping Turtle?

Spinal deformity. Sometimes they make it to near adult or even adult size even with a crippling deformity like that. Seen another deformity thats pretty common in cats and carp that makes the head look like they have downs syndrome or something. Weird stuff.
