It is decomposed and basically mummified but also a real fish. Experts think its a decomposed Trout Apparently they figure an animal dragged it out of the lake and when it decomposed the teeth became very prominent. I don't know--doesn't look like a decomposed trout to me but they seem to think it may be. Apparently they are kind of stumped though.

The lake it may have come out of also have hundreds of fish dying suddenly a few weeks before they found this thing. I guess they thought the lake had been poisoned.

Then there is this guy. Seen them a bunch of times on the net but always seem so weird to me.

I have a whole folder on my desktop of weird fish

hahaha! don't know about that species exactly, but I know that catfish get huge. I used to have a Red Tail that was about 3 feet and weighed around 50lbs.

blue Channel Cats get massive too if I remember correctly...
