Cool Looking Kitty

Very cool coloring of this kitty. Purple, Pink, Gray, White, Gold, Blue.

That is interesting! The tail looks big for a cat that size.

I’m glad the colors came out on the fins. Much of the body was very light and had that purple tint. It didnt look unhealthy, but it obviously appears that it hasnt been eating as much as it could be.

I have caught other cats with lighter color phases and pink and purple in the color variation.. but never as light as that fish was… it was even more distinct than what showed on the photo.

I thought it was cool

that is a weird looking kitty fish, I guess all those 3M chemicals dumped in the river are starting to evolve another species! j/k

I caught a channel down a Blackdog last year that was PINK. I mean, it was really pink.

It’s a Blue cat.

Oh dear, not this again.

That looks like most of the smaller cats we get up north.

Most are very light, gold color with greenish, purplish tint to them. Some even have spots. But we don’t talk about them, kind of like shooting Bambi.

Not your typical gray metro cat however.

I used to catch really light channels, most of them with pronounced spots, in smaller rivers in Nebraska. Usually, though, the big ones didn’t have spots, and were pretty dark. Are spots related to age?

Usually, once they get past a few pounds they lose the spots.

Don’t ask me to look it up…but I read a dnr paper that said 3 years old. Whether that’s for MN waters only…I haven’t a clue.
