Title: Interesting Ling picture
Post by: mallardmuncher on Feb 20, 2019, 07:55 AM

Got this from a fellow fisherman. It was caught out of yellowtail.  Anyone ever seen a ling colored like this??

Now that is a crazy looking ling! Eyes look black so not sure if its an albino or just a skin pigment abnormality.    Kinda like a blond black bear.  Cool fish!

That is pretty neat looking for sure. A replica of that would be awesome.

Of course it was caught out of “YELLOWtail”.

I've seen a photo of a yellow northern pike in an In-Fisherman magazine, they had a name for the condition, though I can't remember what it is called.

That’s an interesting looking Burbot/ling/eelpout. I believe it’s a leucistic, less or lacking pigment but not albino.

It is fun to catch unusual fish! Bright yellow ling would be a surprise to see come through your hole. Cool looking fish!!
