Caught a few over last year, I think its just deformation of the fish when growing to the adult stage. All of mine I caught were from a local stocked fish pond, so I think this "Football" trout is just simply a deformation with trout in hatchery's

Certainly not a biologist but almost looks like they ate something they couldn't pass.
Did you keep it? Would be a pretty easy way to tell if I was right lol.

No i didn't keep it, i thought the same as you, looked like he ate a chipmunk or something, likely a hatchery caused issue though?
It was from a stocked lake.

Saw one similar out of Sibbald. Must be a genetic thing from hatchery broods.

The trout is missing vertebrae that is all. Not common for raised trout but does happen.
