4/11/2012 3:06:00 PMthat's a retired hatchery breeding fish. WDFW releases them into lakes after they're past their breeding prime. i caught one just like it a couple of years ago and called the WDFW to ask if it was diseased or something. they said they look that tough from bumping into the concrete tank walls and from nipping at each other in such tight quarters. honestly i dont know how that fish swam with the stumps it had for fins. but it sure tasted good (they're fed engineered pellets).
