lacerations from an outboard prop .
Seen it on Fush before and used to work with a lady friend up here who had the same thing on her back from a boat collision !

Prop marks for sure. That is not a bite mark.

I also think prop unless maybe a large bird took some slashes at it.

We are all fish experts...carry on!

Props, teeth, hmmmm I like my perspective, it tends to lead to another cast or two

propellers, eagles, bullsharks, bite marks or even aliens ............ maybe ........

or could be early stage pre-tumorous Lymphosarcoma.

Pretty common in Pike.
