I wonder if it needs twice the amount of forage fish........

Reminds one of the movie, "The Thing."

What species fish is that??

I was thinking Walleye, but I'm not sure.

The article didn't say.

Looks like a laker to me.. Notice tail in left hand. That's not a WAE.

You mean a Lake Trout, Snipe?

Agreed though, it doesn't look like a Walleye at all.

Son of Champy.

PS I used to fish Lake Champlain with my dad, way back before bass tournaments discovered it. Awesome place. Saw a huge hellbender in about 4 feet of water there, only one I've spotted in my life.

I think it's a touge/lake trout
Based on fins & tail.

On national news last night they did say it was a trout but not what kind.I assumed they meant lake trout. Dang sure ain't a rainbow!! Hah!

Yes, sorry, I've always referred to them as Lakers.
Also, as I'm sure most have seen the article on this, it was stated by the gal that caught it that she thought this was from a previous injury.. I'm hoping we can all agree here that this is likely a genetic mutation of some sort.
