If you look at the fin structure of the first fish, it is definately a Yellowtail, there is no mistake of that. Mine was a little different
deformity, but not that uncommon. I have caught a half dozen or so of these deformed fish, one without a tail. They get hammered in the gillnets and
some survive to go another day.

You have some really weird fish too. I guess we just don't know everything that's out there yet.

I was having a little fun with the idea of a mutated fish, but both fish are examples of fish that were probably hurt during their very young years.
We find a lot of Yellowtail that have missing fins, broken or almost non-existant tails, quite a few with mouth deformations like the pictures on this
thread. I think it comes from the excessive gillnetting that is being done in the whole Sea of Cortez.
Again, when a fisherman uses a hook and a line, he is careful and attentive to each fish he catches as it represents money in the bank. The net guys
are a whole different story, and they see so much money in the haul of the net, that a few fish thrown on the beach or a few falling back in to the
water, do not seriously hamper the overall catch. You can see this at the dock everday. The hook and line fishermen come in and they treat their
catch with a deference and respect and except for some odd catch fish, they do not give away many fish to the beggars who work the docks, but when the
Netters come in, they can be seen giving a few yellowtail away to anyone that asks. The Hook and Line guys take their money from their catch and
take it home for groceries and electricity, the Netters go buy cases of beer and Tequila and usually get drunk by the ramp.
I have a lot of respect for the Hook and Line guys and consider a lot of them good friends in the small village where I live. But I also have a
friend who spent his life as a commercial fisherman and it is his opinion that the guys who use Hook and Line are a dying breed and that it is the
Netters who are more effecient farmers of the ocean. While that gives me cause to think, I also know that the fishery is in trouble and the Hook and
Line guys do not do as much to destroy a troubled fishery.
