I've been fishing a lot at a certain body of water, all of the pike and bass im catching have a very faint color on them, very pale. I have some photos but they are on my phone and i cannot put them on here. This pike that i caught today had the same color as a muskie although i could tell it was a pike, is this just fish being exposed to light or something or does this mean the fish are unhealthy, just curious as to why the colors are not as vibrant as fish that i catch in other places.
p.s i was not targeting bass for they are out of season they just happened to strike my x-rap and i noticed they were also light colored.
thanks bassmaster4
