The silver largemouth bass - a new species?

Okay, so it isn't a new species, but some type of pigment problem - probably a lack of pigment actually on this silver largemouth bass caught from a lake along with some of those regular green bass we all know and love. Doesn't appear to be a full albino, but interesting.

You have to be impressed that the bass survived this long since fish that stand out usually get eaten early in life. These young anglers had a good day bass fishing including catching this 'silver' largemouth (I don't have a problem with keeping a few fresh fish to eat, which is what they did, especially when it comes to our younger anglers - and yes, I blurred out their faces because I do not have written permission from parents to show them - notice though... I did not blur out the hat on the far right ;D).


Anyone here ever catch a bass like this... or another interesting bass? I have seen a golden largemouth bass before too.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Dan, I've never seen a silver bass, but i have caught one that was golden with a bad eye, i know i have a picture of it around here somewhere i'll have to see if i can find it. This is very intersting.

I caught one once that had a patch over one eye and a wooded fin!

I have enough trouble with the brown and the green ones, I wonder how much new stuff I'ld have to buy to fish for the silver ones?
Look past what they want you to see.

I do have an apparent handicap talent - I catch a lot of one-eyed bass (no wooden fins). I forgot, I've also seen pictures of a couple orange largemouth bass over the years too.

The whole problem lies in the young child on the right wearing the UM hat.  ;D I'm sure deep down the root of the problem begins there.  ;)

I think most football coaches say that about their schedule. So it could be Woody Hayes, Bo Schembec@#@!#%, etc.

Most recently Lloyd Carr wants ND removed from their schedule. I understand why the past 5 years, but after this season, he should reconsider that. That was a pretty good game for his club.

yeah - they seem to be having an 'ok' year this year ;D (Go Blue!)
