A woman in upstate New York was awestruck when she reeled in a  “two-mouthed fish”. Captured by Debbie Geddes on Lake Champlain, the image has left many shocked and is going viral.

The post shared on Facebook page Knotty Boys Fishing on August 19 has till now gathered more than 6,600 shares.

The image, however, also sparked different kinds of theories among netizens. Some were amazed while the others were baffled to see this unique fish.

“It’s just an old injury, not two headed at all,” wrote a Facebook user. “Speaking as a biologist, I think it is a deformity. Something went awry embryologically,” commented another. “Champy’s offspring?” curiously inquired a third.

This ‘Catch of a lifetime’ fish was released after being documented.
