Dear Larry The King,
Caught this gar This weekend past....predominately yellow pigmentation..just wondering if you ever had any similarly unique colored fish over the years?
Thanks,
Steel

Interesting critter. I've caught a few pike in various places, and even a few big largemouth from slop/rice/basin lakes that had that same yellowish tinge. Always assumed it had something to do with the water chemistry.
Thnks for the post.

Larry,
i was cruising the shallows one day trying to shoot carp and i spotted a bass guarding a nest that was all white...black head with a few black spots immediately after the gill plates...reminded me of a Coach Dog Hula Popper
