Is this common? I’ve never seen or heard of a burbot with these colors

Awesome fish! I know its "just" a burbot, but I would get a replica mount of that thing. What lake?

Would be interesting to hear a WFGD burbot expert, or any biologist's explanation.  Im guessing it might be due to a sickness as opposed to born that way.  But who knows.  Cool fish.
