Great googly moogly, what is this under the apple tree?

I went to pick some apples and found this under the tree..we don't even live on the water, someone must have thrown it out of their truck window.

Can anyone tell me what it is?

It's big, with lots of teeth and teeth on it's TONGUE!!!

Salmon that has gone through spawning, normally they don't have mouths like that, but after spawning they do.

Yup! They get right ugly when they are spawning and they die shortly after. Good salmon are silver, once they start turning color and get hook nosed they are mushy and I feed them to the dogs.
