7/19/2011 10:24:00 PMNice job out there. That is rather odd,certainly not an injury caused by a predatory attack.I've seen scars from tigers that have had encounters with props but they don't look like anything in the pic. Looking at the distention,it would almost look like some kind of bowel obstruction but my medic skills are for humans and not fish(lol) Very interesting. I know its a tiger but it "almost" looks like a spotted musky,the patterns are tighter.

Looks like the other mark is a bite mark. The 43 we caught on Merwin actually had a bite mark from a bigger musky on its side..now I wish I had gotten a picture of that one. See ya, Todd
