Title: Orange bullhead???
Post by: deerefishyfishy on Feb 24, 2019, 07:34 AM

Pulled this off the bottom of a local pond with a bucktail jig on Friday. It appears to just be a bright orange bullhead and it was about 7 inches long. Anyone ever seen anything like it?

Eastern Colorada and newbraska they are often that color. It explains why the walleyes like an orange/ yellow crankbait! ;)

Very interesting, this seems to be the year of odd colored fish. I’ve seen pics and posts about yellow Burbot, blue perch, yellow perch with no stripes, even saw a pic of a blue perch with no stripes (though I don’t think it was from this year).

Definitely a yellow bullhead
