Has anyone ever caught a BLIND striped bass?

[Saltheart]

I have also had several one eyed fish. I assume a lot of them lost their eye to fish hooks , especially the multiple trbles on some lures.

I don't imagine that a blind fish lives long so the probability of catching one has to be low. .

Yes, I've gotten a few as well in addition to half tails and a couple pug nosed specimens. I also caught one that was Z shaped...I'll see if I can find the pic of it.

However, most of the fish I catch are neither blind, deformed, nor deaf, but patently stupid ...they have to be in order for me to catch one.

Hey Jake,
Do you happen to have any pictures of the "pug nose" fish? I have caught a couple of those (one was about 15 pounds, the other about 30-35) . Strange looking things, real sea monsters.
