Mutant Black Bream?
Submitted by Mavtalon on Mon, 2011-10-17 09:30
Fishing in walpole and nornalup inlets a few weeks back, hit a nice part of the frankland river that had bream country written all over it, the little fellas started pouring in, including this guy who seems to have had a chunk taken out of him when he was little and managed to survive somehow. Pretty amazing really

Pulled in a little mulloway from the Kalgan River in Albany that had a very similiar problem. It was on the top of it's back though. It seemed to be happy enough and released fine!
