I have caught more than one fish with no upper or lower jaw,,, ripped off, gone! Mostly pickerel or LMB that some moron ripped the hook out of or something when they were small,,, Matter of fact, we caught one again this past summer in cayuga lake.. i have NO idea how they eat, or even "breathe" properly, but they manage ok.. Caught some blind fish, and some with truly horrible injuries, no tail fins, etc yet they were still eating, and otherwise seemed healthy enough to survive ,,,
