Weird Pug Nosed Coalie

Was out the other night and my Brother caught this Coalie,
and I was just wondering if anyone else has caught one like it.
I haven't ever seen one like this before

Possible new sub species ?? pug nosed Coalfish like with pike

looks like a whiting pollack cross to me the protruding lower jaw like a pollack the colour and scales of a whiting ???????????????????????

Judging by all the blood (and the busted top jaw), I'd say Steve Collins caught this one

hahahahahaha steve has been upto his old tricks again thoght i saw that fish bouncing the other night

IT WAS DAMAGED AS A FRY THATS ALL YA SEE IT ALL THE TIME

Top jaw wasn't busted that's the shape it was, unfortunately it swallowed the circle hook
which accounted for the blood.
As for Steve Collins i'm not sure if its a female or a bouncer

were you fishing in skerries (six finger country)

I caught a coalie like that last year in Youghal at ferrypoint

Ugly people, ugly fish! That's the way nature works.

My mother-in-law is the perfect example

I'd say Steve Collins caught this one

I forgot to add......


With a right hook

This is a pollock that I caught last year.

both fish look like coalies to me last cast

It happens, I've had Pollack with itty bitty teeny weeny top lips before, probably either a mutant or it's has a whack when it was young and fragile. Last one I had like that was about 2lb so it obviously hadn't effected its feeding.

Looks like a weird coalie to me! Was maybe caught before and was damaged?
