northern with 2 mouths

[chewynoeyes]

Caught this northern saturday.

He looks nasty but was pretty tasty.

[kenlaker]

That's wild! Out of curiosity, which mouth did you hook him in?

[Neiko]

Looks wild for sure. It didn't just separate did it or is there 2 sets of teeth and tongue looking thing inside both?

[otterman91105]

That's crazy never heard of something like that.

[highlife4me]

Looks like one for the wall, just for a conversation piece.

[chewynoeyes]

i caught it in the upper mouth.

it did have a tongue and the extra lower jaw that did have teeth.

it looked health just a little skinny.

I would have donated it for research. In all my years, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen on a fish!

[Mnfisher]

Yes, donate it or put it on the wall if its' not too late.

[TrophyEyes]

The post said tasty, so I think it might be too late:)

narley wild.....would have definitely been one for DNR research or the wall just to talk bout...thx for sharing

[leechlake]

I would have passed on eating it and especially if I felt the need for latex gloves in even touching it. If it was a walleye you could have got two sets of cheeks if it was bigger. 2 for 1.

Fishing down river from the energy plant by any chance?

[mrklean]

very interesting should have mounted it

[UpNorthOutdoor]

After just looking at my mounted northern on the wall it looks like they just cut all the way around the jaw bone

Cool pics

If you get the urge to eat two of every thing we'll know what happened

After zooming in on the original pic it kinda looks like a torn jaw, not saying it is, but just looks fishy

Agreed, Im calling talk! I dont believe it.

Not trying to be a party p00per but definitely a torn jaw. Just look at the flesh wounds and how it separated unevenly. I have seen or caught a Northern like this before and its no dna defect. Two jaws would grow and develop actually like two jaws. Snout, teeth, etc. Imagine your neck and throat being torn and separated from your mouth and face. OUCH!

The fish I caught was starving and paper thin skinny. Its not going to be able to feed like that and will eventually die from starvation. My guess is it was caught before and either someone purposely tore it its mouth or something happen to where it tore and separated. It was as good as dead. All you did was by catching and eating it you put it out of its misery...

[MuleShack]

That certainly does look like torn flesh...maybe not recent but there is definitely no linear jaw bone or exterior gums on the lower piece. In fact it looks like the lower and upper tear marks on the front might actually line up.

[shizzy]

looks to be a conjoined twin. cool though.

[PurpleCatMan]

I caught one with two mouths too!

[TruthWalleyes]

If i had to guess, someone had their Jaw OPener along and ripped that pike's lower jaw right off.

[CrewJones]

the two headed pike is up in Duluth at a bar i have that picture as well

I think the jaw is torn as well, but its cool the fish was alive and eating. Ill take all that back if you end up growing a second mouth from eating the fish

[PurpleCatMan]

Man I got busted quickly on that one. That's correct. Can't remember the name of the place, but they have some great food.
