Strange Sand Bass 5/4 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MrPatrick · 05-04-2012, 10:24 PM

I caught an almost black Sand Bass today. It was charcoal grey with black bars, not the normal silver with grey bars. The front of this fish on its underside was a pinkish color. To top it all off the anal and tail fins had a blueish hue to them. It wasn't a spot/sand hybrid, I've seen those before.
Has any of you seen a melanistic sandy like this?
Oh yeah the fishing was good today.
