Abstract:

Pugheadedness is a trait exhibited by fish such as carp and striped bass. A spotted sea trout exhibiting pigheadedness was caught in January of 2013 in Smyrna Creek, a short tributary that enters Core Sound, Carteret County, North Carolina. Reason for the occurrence of this trait remains a mystery.
