Mystery Fish - ThayerCabin - 04-22-2010

I have found this photo online of some sort of dead fish. The title of the picture says that it is a pike. But I'm not so sure, it is toothy, but the teeth look a bit different from pike teeth. The top teeth aren't like that of a pike, these are triangular and run the entire lenghth of the upper jaw. Pike have a few pointy teeth on thier upper jaw, but mainly 3 pads of teeth under the roof of the mouth. Also, note the teeth in the very front of the bottom jaw, they are very large and triangular, different from that of a pike. Pike do have very small pointy teeth here. Any one know what this fish actualy is? Here's the url for a close up pic [Image: 3037839761_4dd97b764a.jpg][url "http://www.flickr.com/photos/32354785@N04/3037839761/"][/url]

I'll guess it's a salmon... most of the males get that hooked jaw just before they spawn and die.

yeah, it could be a salmon, they do get quite toothy during the spawn.

Either way a stinking, rotting, disgusting salmon. I can almost smell that bad boy from here!
