Any idea what did this or what's wrong with this fish? We've had a few Cormorants round lately could it be them? Parasite?





Yes I'm aware this isn't the TFF. I'm too lazy to start an account over there smile

I've caught several Trout at Beavers Bend in south east Oklahoma with them attached. Haven't noticed any down here.

Bird, gar, been caught before, possibly worms. Check it out when you clean it and don't make sushi out of it and all will be good.

Heron. We have had the same issues at our place in West TX. Those are "beak spear marks."

Agree on Heron. Seen it several times.


Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
