They are the handicapped mullet. Most schools require at least three or four for survival purposes.

Cross with something?

man i noticed the same thing on a few i caught last week. the rare and elusive sloped head mullet. i caught them west of where the garcon point bridge hits gulf breeze. ive never seen any like that before. all the mullet ive been catching this year have been a lot bigger than the last few years but those were all smaller. i dont know if that has anything to do with it though. its weird. they tasted the same though.

 

[dangermon]

Thanks for the reply. Very strange.

 

[Hewes your daddy?]

They have evolved with that shaped head to allow easier escape from slow sinking cast nets.

Put them in the cooler with a liter bottle of ice on top of their heads?

Evolution

 

[dangermon]

Good ideas. No I didn't put them in the cooler BUT I did have them in a 5 gallon bucket.... however, they are physically different and when filleted... they have a humpback of meat too. Crazy. At first I thought I had the occasional "freshwater mullet" or "mountain mullet" but they are something else entirely and not found in this area normally.

 

[dangermon]

Either way... it was fun catching them.

I saw a lot of strange mullets at an Alabama football game last year.

I think they might even have a MHOF. Mullet Hall of Fame.
