Immediately after catching the fish Debbie says that she and her husband released the unharmed fish back into the water after taking a few pictures.
"We quickly took a few pictures and released the fish," she said.
A photo of the fish posted on Facebook by Knotty Boys Fishing has been shared widely and went viral since then.
The picture of the fish has been shared over 6,000 times and has gained over a thousand comments.
Many people are coming up with multiple theories about the creature.
One person commented: "Speaking as a biologist, I think it is a deformity. Something went awry embryologically,"
"It's not a two headed trout...it's an old injury! Most likely from improper handling/release," another theorised.
"Champy's offspring?" commented a third wondered, referring to an age old mythical monster believed to live in Lake Champlain.
