Caught a squawfish with a deformed face[Solved]

[HunterStrait]

Caught this little squawfish in a spinner at Snyder boat launch in richland, sorry i didn't take a picture.

Its nose was all squashed up, and it looked like part of its jaw was cut off. Almost looked like a suckerfish, but the eye color and the body gave it away.

oops in wrong forum, could a moderator please move this to the fishing forum, thanks.

Sounds like a chisel mouth to me...... looks like a squawfish except for the head and mouth.
