    Double-Mouthed Fish Pulled From Neb. Lake Wed Dec 21, 5:21 PM ET



    LINCOLN, Neb. - This fish didn't have a chance. A rainbow trout pulled out of Holmes Lake last weekend had double the chance to get hooked: It had two mouths.

    Clarence Olberding, 57, wasn't just telling a fisherman's fib when he called over another angler to look at the two-mouthed trout. It weighed in at about a pound.

    "I reached down and grabbed it to take the hook out, and that's when I noticed that the hook was in the upper mouth and there was another jaw protruding out below," said Olberding.

    He said in his 40 years of fishing, he's never seen anything like it.

    Don Gabelhouse, head of the fisheries division of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, said a two-mouthed fish was new to him, too.

    "It's probably a genetic deformity," he said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

    The second mouth didn't appear to be functional, Olberding said. He has plans for the fish, which don't included mounting.

    "I'm going to smoke it up and eat it," he said.

    Took the question mark off the end and it worked. Those tags can be kind of flakey with special characters.

    He lost a bet with a mad scientist who was going for the Raptors. The fish was going for the Rockets. "No! Don't shave my head!" said the fish. I will do ANYTHING ELSE, but don't shave my head. So the mad scientist gave him two mouths for talking too much...
