javicruzito 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Hello people, I know that this thread is not nothing about fly tying, but I caught this Largemouth Bass and it is not a normal Bass, is all bright yellow with a few black dots.Can any one tell me what is or why this color? Thanks for the help! Orlando J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishkill 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Thats strange but looks really cool. I have caught largemouth in bayous that were pretty yellow that lived in close proximity to salt water but nothing that yellow that I can remember. Probably a genetic oddity. Not really an albino, I think you have to have pink eyes for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad fish rising 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 its not albino for sure i would say just a color defect or mutation some fish like the common carp can have radical color or be plain im not sure if its genetic or cellular or what but i have seen varied colors of carp in a small pond back in my home town and they must be coming from the same brown ones in the pond i think you should have had it mounted its an awesome fish but probably not good for the gene pool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 Looks like a largemouth/peacock bass hybrid. Or a largemouth Koi. Weird. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Hey Mike first, up to where I have understood Largemouth Bass they do not relate to other species and second in this lake in especially no Peacock Bass are found this is a 100% Largemouth Bass lake and Koi much less, PR do not have Koi nowhere, just in japanese restaurants, hehehe.... creekfishin this is in PR!

oracle 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 That my friend is an albino.Like most of you have said true it donest have red eye,but by the definition of albino says a person or animal lacking normal pigmentation resulting in abnormally color,pale and or white skin and hair with pink or blue eyes with dark red pupils. So by defination that my friend make that fish a true albino bass. :bugeyes: :yahoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
