Albino fish

[catman529]

A few weeks ago I saw what I swear was an albino carp. It swam right next to me so I got a good look at it and the only other thing it could have been was a white koi. But it looked just like a common carp that was completely white. Who knows... but who else has seen or caught an albino fish and what species?

that's a rare catch. Bet it gave him a heck of a fight too

I used to catch white goldfish from a city water lake. Some weighed over 5 pounds.

My buddy and I saw a solid white gar one time. Every time we go back to that spot we always mention it.

I've seen albino catfish but never caught an albino fish

Albino cat solid white in a friends pond. Stands out like a sore thumb about 3lbs

Not a albino but white. White at least on one side.
Halibut

summer flounder (fluke) fishing was good and I bet a halibut is a heck of a lot better with the size they grow to.

 

[sure shot]

i have seen white koi in old hickory

i have caught 2-3 albino cats. they had red eyes the way i remember. one was about 6lbs.

My brother caught albino catfish in the late 80's. It weighed about 6 lbs. Caught it in roaring river after a big rain.

I wonder since a halibut or flounder are bottom layers and seem to lay on the same side if one side may eat a little differently than the other side.

I saw what could have been an albino but more likely just a very pale colored drum today in the harpeth. Then a while later I was upstream about 100 yd trying to snag a buffalo, and I saw it again. I snagged a scale off it. Wish I could have caught it. I have seen so many drum and their dark grey-blue appearance underwater. This one looked very pale grey if not white, hard to tell when the water is not completely clear. Oh and it was 6, 7 + pounds which is big for the harpeth. I saw its rounded tail very clearly and it wasn't a buff.

The upper side is the only side that my cousin and guide would filet. Not enough tthickness on lower side to make a decent filet.

I filleted both sides of 2 flounder last year and I remember there was enough meat on the lower side to fillet, and these weren't real big fish either.

Never caught a halibut "yet" but flounders ive caught plenty of best was 8lb and you do get 4 fillets and I've never noticed any taste difference in the 4. Man that's making me hungry now!

they are good eating but are very delicate textured. I prefer a meaty fish to flounder any day. Walleye, salmon, cod, tuna etc are my favorites
