There once was a crooked man who caught a crooked bass...

Wow!
wnspain reply :
I'm not for sure but it may be just the picture. I've taken a few pictures where the bass isn't really ready to give up and then attempts to shake loose one last time. My guess is perfect timing/angle with that attempt.

Nope, it wasn't just the picture. I was holding it straight down. It had a bad hump back and a crooked tail. It had obviously had a hard life. I felt so bad for the crooked fish I took all of five seconds to snap the pic and release it.

BAH!!!?
WIGuide reply :
I think he's just been doing too many crunches!
I'm not sure what causes that to happen, but I've caught a few that have had similar issues. I haven't seen any that extreme, but it does happen.
Turtle135 reply :
That is likely a skeletal malformation called lordosis that I believe occurs when they are still juveniles. Still, the bass has managed to feed and grow into an adult.

You forgot that he had to walk a crooked mile first.

Incredible! A species of bass that has evolved a human defense mechanism! His appearance ensure he will never be cooked.
wnspain reply :
Lol, never thought about that but I bet you're right!

I've caught a few Quasimoto bass with a hump, but never a question mark belly like that. Very interesting.

Catch 22 reply :
I once catched an offset lmb Top view showed a distinct offset of almost 3/4" on a 14"`er.
T22 that fish might show as circle on the df

Definitely not just a camera angle. I thought I was the only one to catch a bass like this. It hit a in line spinner. It looked really deformed. I felt bad for it haha . But if it can track down my spinner. It can track down other prey as well. I wonder what this condition is called. This was the only time I had seen it up until now. And I've held hundreds of bass.
Tracker22 reply :
Geez, that is strange. I thought it was just caused by an injury but it may be a condition or some kind of genetic problem disorder.
I think Turtle135 got it right. Lordosis

Now this one looks deformed! Much more than the OPs pic. Evidently it doesn't handicap them too bad because they still manage to evade prey and catch food. Interesting, I can't say I'd throw it in the ice chest, looks like some nuclear experiment gone awry

I agree. Maybe that's why the crappie are so big in the pond ha-ha . Slabs !

Wow 40 years of constant bass fishing, I have never caught a bass that looked like that!!!!

Well I'm only 23. But have been fishing for almost a decade. And I was shocked. In the pond there are big catfish. Big crappie. Some decent bluegill. And the biggest bass I've caught was a little over three pounds. I went out there once with a 5 inch swim bait looking for a big bass. And hooked a huge crappie. Regardless. I've never kept any fish from that pond. And never will after this.
Sam reply :
Catch them all the time in Little Creek off the Chickahominy River in Virginia outside of Williamsburg.
Been catching them with the hump for years.
So far no one has told me why their backs are bent.
Seems not to harm the bass as they are very active and healthy.

I wonder if its hereditary. Or just something that happens.
Sam reply :
I have no idea if it is hereditary or something happens.
Never encountered such an animal out of the Little Creek area of the Chickahominy River.
Maybe the Ohio game and fisheries department has an answer.
geo g reply :
If there is more then one of these fish in these waters then something must be going on in the environment. This is a strange occurrence!

Yea man , not good.
ZbestBassman reply :
I found this post because I was wondering the same thing about this fish. I think it's a genetic disorder or something might be better to bank these type of fish unfortunately ....
TonynswAR reply :
I caught one just like this once, been years tho.
Ratherbfishing reply :
That bass is a natural at somersaults.
geo g reply :
Just goes to show just how tough these animals are. They live in a violent world, chasing living organisms through weeds, rocks, downed wood. They are also always escaping from bigger things looking at them as food. They just survive, day after day. That guy is a survivor!????
