Title: Caught a squawfish with a deformed face[Solved]
Post by: HunterStrait on August 16, 2014, 06:49:51 PM: Caught this little squawfish in a spinner at Snyder boat launch in richland, sorry i didn't take a picture. :sry:

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.
