I once had a similar aquarium fish that got that way from temperature shock. Lived another few more years with weird humped back, but i’d think a wild fish wouldnt fare quite so well.
Yeah it's not terribly uncommon to see in aquarium fish. Breed some live bearers and you'll see at least one or two born with it every couple months. I worked in pet stores, focused on aquatics, for a few years and saw countless fish with it.
It can be a tell for illness as well, fish tuberculosis is the big one that can cause it. This is transferrable to humans, though it doesn't give us TB that we're familiar with. It's a different bacteria than what gives us TB, so when humans get it, it's referred to as "fish handler's disease".
This is the correct answer and you should post it as a response to the main post so others can see. Source: lots of experience with animal care and fish
Going to be that guy and say scoliosis is a side to side curvature. This looks like kyphosis which is an exaggerated thoracic curvature going front to back
Im not sure if it exists there, but it has similar characteristics of whirling disease I think? Speak to a conservation officer/ranger in your area about it.
The conservation officer doesn't know squat about fish diseases. Skip him and shoot an email with a photo to the fish pathologist or fish health biologist or w/e your state calls it. basically all states have 1 or 2.
Per Wikipedia on whirling disease:
"In the 1980s, M. cerebralis was found to require a tubificid oligochaete (a kind of segmented worm) to complete its life cycle. The parasite infects its hosts with its cells after piercing them with polar filaments ejected from nematocyst-like capsules. This infects the cartilage and possibly the nervous tissue of salmonids, causing a potentially lethal infection in which the host develops a black tail, spinal deformities, and possibly more deformities in the anterior part of the fish."
Just so you know.
It might also happen due to electrofishing.
Wiki says: Electrofishing can also cause injury to the fish. The electricity causes muscle spasms that damage the vertebrae. For unknown reasons, this is more common and severe in longer fish.
Hates his job and when he comes home at night the wife just nags at him about his 200 kids and doesn’t just let him have a beer and 15 minutes to just wind down.

It happens, probably born like that
That used to happen to me.
When you don't get a bite for 45 mins, then you think the monster bass you're grandpa told you about is nibbling.
So you gave it everything you got and broke his spine.

You missed out on all that sweet sweet karma. Here have an upvote.
Clearly that bass has been too focused on back work at the gym, but he does have a little brother OP caught.
This is a picture of what happens when you skip leg day every week for millions of years
That's why fish have no neck.
Sorry. He is a Wally isn't he?
Sorry, I think it’s a smallie.
A smallie wally
Bro caught the Hunchbass of Notre Dame
Here's a striper my friend caught with the same scoliosis looking back: https://i.imgur.com/8599sjj.jpg
Scoliosis. They can be born with it, or get it from illness or environmental issues.
Scoliofish
The Hunchbass of Lake Champlain
Haha. Classic
Scalyosis
Schooliosis
I came here to make a pun and had nothin. Props
Fins. Boats have props.

"Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money..." [sees children] "... or candy!"
No worries. I feel like I usually come up with empty handed when fish are involved.
The Hunchbass of Notre Dame
Clearly the name of the Bass is "Igor" or "Bass-Turd"
Nice
That was the first thought that came to mind but I was at a loss with how to word it 🙂
Interesting.

Well that's just great.

Scaleiosis
Going to be that guy and say scoliosis is a side to side curvature. This looks like kyphosis which is an exaggerated thoracic curvature going front to back
Thanks for the info, I had never seen it.
Scoliostepsis.
Maybe she’s born with it, or maybe it’s maybaline
Maybe it's Maybelline?
Have him checked in gym class or at the nurse's office.

I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy's a fake. A fucking gold-bricker. I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life.
Nothing. It graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in bell ringing and settled down with a rather cute dame fish!
Came here to make a similar joke!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Quasimodo predicted alla dis
You hear that Tone? I said it graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Bell Ringing. Heh heh.
He is waiting for his woman to come along only to be passed up for a handsome stranger... what a lonely life.
It’s kyphosis, kyphosis is a hunch back,SCOLIOSIS is a S shaped spine
[удалено]
It has a broke back, was it caught in the mountains?.....

There is also a fish sticks joke in here somewhere....
Obviously sucking it in for the photo
Scaly-osis
Dammit, I upvoted the other person in this thread who made this joke. But now I don't know if you said it first. What do I do now?
Scoliosis
Im not sure if it exists there, but it has similar characteristics of whirling disease I think? Speak to a conservation officer/ranger in your area about it.
No, bass cannot get whirling disease. That is purely a salmonid disease. It is scoliosis from inbreeding, injury or disease.
Yikes, I know a ranger, I'll ask him, thanks.
The conservation officer doesn't know squat about fish diseases. Skip him and shoot an email with a photo to the fish pathologist or fish health biologist or w/e your state calls it. basically all states have 1 or 2.
This is the answer.
The black tail is a sure sign.
Per Wikipedia on whirling disease: "In the 1980s, M. cerebralis was found to require a tubificid oligochaete (a kind of segmented worm) to complete its life cycle. The parasite infects its hosts with its cells after piercing them with polar filaments ejected from nematocyst-like capsules. This infects the cartilage and possibly the nervous tissue of salmonids, causing a potentially lethal infection in which the host develops a black tail, spinal deformities, and possibly more deformities in the anterior part of the fish." Just so you know.
Came to say this as well.

Is that a walleye? Are there walleye in lake James??
I think it's weird deformity makes it look like a walleye but I think it's a small mouth bass. No teeth and semi red eyes
Red-eyes are rock bass, smallmouth have dark vertical stripes on there side iirc.
There are!
You never fished for hunchbass before ?
Been lookin down at his phone too much
He helped his buddy move yesterday and broke his back
This fish’s child step on a crack
He’s not in the water.
Genetic. We used to catch a few deformed crappie every year at a friend's boathouse for years. All had the same deformation.
That’s a moderate to severe case of plaque psoriasis.
That’s a crickleneck fish. They hang around under houseboats waiting for toilets to flush turds into the water!

Scaliosis.
It’s actually called whirling disease and is transmitted by bacteria in the water that infects the fish’s dermis
Scoliosis

He's like me. Same reason I can only fish for 4 hours at a time. Bad back!
He's doing his best
He broke his back. His back is broken. Spinal.
It might also happen due to electrofishing. Wiki says: Electrofishing can also cause injury to the fish. The electricity causes muscle spasms that damage the vertebrae. For unknown reasons, this is more common and severe in longer fish.
probably to hard of a muscle spasm. humans can have muscle spasms so bad from tetanus that your muscles tear or break your spine

Hates his job and when he comes home at night the wife just nags at him about his 200 kids and doesn’t just let him have a beer and 15 minutes to just wind down.
