Strange Sand Bass 5/4
 

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.

And you didn't take a picture........:rolleyes::confused:

No picture, but if you read the description of the fish again and close your eyes then use your imagination, you might remember if you have seen one like I described.:cool:

those are the colors of spawning sand bass.
