I caught one several years ago that had a silmilar look but the indentation went from the top right behind the dorsal fin down about an inch and a half then went straight to the tail. Cut it open later and boy did it stink. Had a puss pocket inside that had healed over evidently, because the skin on the outside of the fish looked normal with the exception of the swayback the fish had. I caught it on the vineyard and when I took it to Coops to get it weighed he took a sample of the scales and poop and sent it off to whereever. I wonder what the researchers thought when they analyze that fishes stuff.
It was kind of funny though when I left the weigh in Edgartown, Leslie from Backlash Charters offered me $150.00 worth of fishing gear from her tackle shop for the fish because she had guests coming for dinner and she didn't catch a striper that day. If I had given it to her for the gear I would have had to give the gear back.
