I thought it was one of @CELLFISH optical illusion GIFs

Nope, nothing even close to that extensive of a line disruption over more than 5,000 stripers...

Here’s something similar, southern whiting…

that bass could be a farmed raised…

Maybe some damage to its skin/scales when it was a juvenile.

Looks similar to the ones I have seen in the Bass Pro Shop tank.

Google hybrid striped bass, it looks just like one.

I was just gonna say that.......

I was told it was caught off the beach in the sound.

maybe someone turned it loose from a farm jnust to amaze whomever caught it - if so - they succeeded

 

[AllyKat]

It got jammed in the printer

I can't find one that looks like this. This is long and sleek and had the head of a stopped bass. Hybrids are pudgy looking.

Agreed, NOT a hybrid...

It looks like an injury when it was a juvenile. If you look at the back of the dorsal fin, the body is indented slightly.

 

[george]

@Bucktail II i do see that. You could be right about that.

 

[CELLFISH]

maybe like a bass I had many years ago, it had one of these drilled into its back… cellfish…
