Strange looking bass

While waiting to get my oil changed today...there were several fishing mag's in the lobby :-) . There was an article on odd looking fish. There was a redfish with 3 heads talk a a two headed flounder (one at each end) and some other strange looking fish. There was a weird bass (see picture below which I ripped out for your enjoyment)...in the article it was caught in MD very close to a Nuke facility.
Sport fishin was the mag.
This thing looks like it could chase you down the beach and punch you if you gave it any lip!

I'm no biologist or physicist, and will stand corrected if I'm wrong, but I think genetic mutations due to radioactivity don't manifest themselves until an exposed fish reproduces.

Radiation will kill ya if you're exposed to too much of it, and will cause radiation sickness (hair loss, nausea, etc) in non-lethal doses, but it won't make you grow another head. Your kids might come out that way, but I don't think you will

hey sandman, i have seen that one on the sportfishing magazine. i laughed so hard when i saw it, but of course, i knew that it wasn't funny to see our favorite gamefish get a bad radioactive make-over from a nuke plant. and also i heard that a fish could cry whenever it feels a pain or something from the sportfishing mag.

I think the arms and legs help the bass to hold tighter to the rocks . they are also good for crawling on the bottom .

Bad Lookin Goblin Fish, too...

Man, that nasty red eyed, buck fanged GoblinFish featured in that issue of the mag was something, eh? Grabs critters right off the beach, hauls them under and eats them whole.....NASTY...

And of course, the fish showing off it's manly apperturberances was a bit of a conversion piece.....hook into that, and it ain't gonna back down...
