A woman has proudly shared pictures of the fish with two mouths she caught while fishing at a lake.

The incident occurred at a lake in New York where Debbie Geddes was enjoying fishing together with her husband.

After feeling something got hooked on the end of the line, Debbie reeled in the creature only for it to turn out to be a fish with two mouths.

Following the impressive catch, the woman took a few pictures with the fish before releasing it back into the water. Later on, she shared the photos with her colleague who took to Facebook to try and find out more about the creature’s looks.

“When this particular fish bit, it felt like I had a nice fish on. I actually commented, ‘I hope it’s as big as it feels!’” Debbie revealed in an interview with Fox News.

“When we got it in the boat I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! Two mouths! And yet this fish was healthy and thriving! Pretty amazing! We quickly took a few pictures and released the fish.”

After the picture of the fish went viral on the page called Knotty Boys Fishing, thousands of people commented and suggested what the story behind two mouths could be.

While some suggested that the two mouths could be a result of an injury or a genetic defect, others went as far as to propose that pollution is responsible for the malformation.

“Well, I think everyone has an opinion, which makes it interesting for discussion,” Adam Facteau, Debbie’s coworker who shared the image, added.

When asked about whether pollution could be responsible for two mouths, he said:

“Sure, that’s possible. However, Lake Champlain is also known for being a sewage dumping ground from Canada and (Vermont). Plus, many of these fish are stocked. Could it be? Not sure. Regardless, it’s a catch of a lifetime and has a lot of public opinions.”

Following the widespread interest in the fish, Debbie admitted she felt overwhelmed by the number of responses.

“I just can’t believe all the attention this has received. The public’s responses/theories are quite interesting, to say the least,” she said. “I personally believe it was caused by a previous injury, most likely from another angler.”
