The Amazing BP Dolphin trout

CatHunter · 06-04-2012, 12:51 PM

Some fishermen in Louisianan have been catching some unusual looking trout, with very blunt for-heads like a bull dolphin, They say they are from the spill and have never seen these things before, I'm not going to agree with them 100% but they sure are strange looking.

Very odd looking trout to say the least. Hopefully those don't start showing up here!

I'm not going to agree with them either. No doubt the oil spill was a horrible disaster, but now every time somebody finds a genetic anomaly, it is immediately, and without evidence, blamed on BP. Keep in mind, mutations are what drive evolution!!! Without them, we would still be bacteria!

An example: Somebody posted this picture on facebook with the title:

The Amazing BP Dolphin trout-red-grouper-jpg

"This fish was just caught in the gulf... I hope that it's just one random fish, because... It would really suck if this is what life in the gulf was like after core-exit..."

Here was one comment on the picture:

" It would appear to be a very sick red snapper. A potentially scary indicator of what might be happening on the sea floor."

I'm just saying, can't we use some grey matter before we blame everything on oil? It's a perfectly healthy red grouper. All of this ignorant paranoia is getting in the way of reason and science.

The blunt nose trout pic is five or six years old (before the spill). Just a deformity. Somebody just trying to stir up BP shit. LA and MS are having the best speckled trout spring run in more than 10 years with limits of 3-5 lb fish becoming the norm.

This guy has produced fish like this every trip this year and there are hundred of folks doing the same over there every day. If anything the fishing has gotten better so folks need to stop pissing and moaning about BP.

That doesn't look real, I'm guessing Photoshop.
