Broken Jaw

Ironically my jawfish broke his jaw while defending his hole lol. He’s still active and eats fine. I don’t plan/want to intervene. Looks like a bulldog now . Anybody have this happen before?

Known as lock-jaw is a condition and one that is often up to the fish to release which is not the easiest for a fish to do. You dont want to force but at times if you try to attempt to net the fish without actually netting it, it will snap back into place
