Looks pretty dang cool to me. 1 out of a billion chances of catching a fish like this, and this kid did!

Thing's gorgeous.

Nuclear reactor nearby? Hard to tell from this angle but I think this kids got 3 thumbs on his left hand? Illigitimate offspring of a cross between a bass and a koy? Photo-shop of some type?

The story that went along with these pictures is that it is a rare genetic disorder that causes the discoloring.

Nope designer bass

Strange indeed...must be easy pickins for the herons and such. Funny the guy in pic 2 has that sorta dumbfounded look on his face like he just bit a hog in the A$$

I would too

That would be worth maintaining a big aquarium to keep it in. Well, maybe not, but sure is pretty.

I understood it was a cross between a bass and yellow perch or yellow bluegill and a funky spawn timing where a quick warmup caused cross breeding. Another story I heard was certain farming chemicals washing into the water upstream can cause odd coloration. Hard to say for sure.

I'd venture to say it's just a mutation of sorts. No ryme or reason, I doubt it gets past from the parents. Just a random mutation. But hey.. what do I know right!

I keith I've kept bass in a tank before.. I'd love to find one that looks like this!

screwballl · 01-21-12, 04:46 PM

lol bassboss, I am planning to get a 15-20 gal tank and get a warmouth or two for the tank. Maybe a bluegill to start until I am able to catch a warmouth lol

We had 75 gallon tank at one point. Had all kinds of things in it, but the funnest was bass and an Oscar. Things were a BLAST to feed. We'd catch lizards outside and toss em in a tank... needless to say they didn't last long!

We'd also get skeeter fish in the ponds and throw 100 or so in there.. they'd last a good few days. lol

my other hobbie, keeping fish, lol have a 125, wih 4 oscars in it, I loved those fish gota attached to em like kids. for the all orange one i'd pay about 100 for them in my tank
