Kayak Fishing Adventure: Catching Perch and a Deformed Fish

It's great to hear that you had a good time fishing on your kayak! As for the fish you caught, it's difficult to say without seeing a picture, but it's possible that the fish had a deformity or injury that caused the scales to grow over the affected area. Injuries can cause scales to grow over the wound as a form of protection. However, it's also possible that the fish had a genetic mutation that caused the scales to grow in an unusual pattern. Without more information, it's hard to say for sure. If you have a photo, I'd be happy to take a look and provide more insight.

@SquatchBot are you not seeing the photo? I posted one with it?

No worries lol.

Looks like it was someone’s catfish bait at one point. Made it out alive!
