My first impression is that at the base of the "horn" that it appears like a wound. Indicating that the object isn't natural to the animal. I suspect that whatever it is, it got there from the fish trying to eat something. Probably some weird piece of trash.

Exactly what i was thinking it does seem to be red and irritated at the base more and likely a piece of trash or metal off a boat

Apparently on some other site people are convinced this is from a swordfish, but it does't look like that to me. Looks more like the spine of a very large stingray to me.
