What happened to this one?

i caught it yesterday on a roostertail.
I'm guessing it is one of the hybrid bluegill i added a year ago...but look at the head on this thing.
It has a nearly flat front of head, with protruding eyes and strange mouth..

Any thoughts would be appreciated.


Thanks

That's what I call a circus fish. Here's a thread on the ones I have cought out of my pond...

https://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=507361

Bottom line is that these HBG tend to have some abnormalities due to the mixed breeding. It's kinda weird to pull one from your own pond. I have not seen any odd lookinbg "next generations" however...just the originals.


Fish on!,

I found the most deformed fish were from the initial stockers. Fingerlings that get a little damaged in shipment have minimal competition and predation under those circumstances, and many more make it to adulthood than they would in an established pond.

Seems like there was an old thread about Georgia Giants (hybrid BG of a parentage that was not disclosed) where some of the later generations of fish resembled those pictures.
