First off I DIDNOT catch this, its something from another site. But wow check this thing out:

 

Wow, that is really cool.

Holy Guacamole! I have never seen anything like that in my life. That’s kind of like finding the golden ticket for the chocolate factory.

Koi / Bass cross, very uncommon!

TW posted this on Facebook a few days ago - awesome by the way. But it seems it is a rare genetic mutation. You can read more on their Facebook page.

bass can have varying skin pigments while uncommon they do occur from research it appears to be a xanthic phase bass

Could just be a lot of JJ's Magic. 

My wife showed me that on FB. It's pretty cool. I've caught and catch white ones or almost white due to muddy water and lack of vegetation. That color is awesome though.

Goldfish interbreeding?

That is called Xanthochromism.

Gold food coloring, lol

That is called Xanthochromism.

Yea, I'm sure you would have the knowledge on such a thing, seeing how your a Veterinary Doctor. Heck, I can't even pronounce it, lol

That is freakin' awesome! There's a koi carp in one of the ponds I fish, and you can see it literally from across the pond. If bass were like that, they'd be a little easier to catch

Nobody thinks this might be photoshopped?  A golden tongue? Really?

No photoshop no matter how good can duplicate that.

jbanard and Raul hit the nail on the head, its definitely not photoshopped.

Wow! I would want to catch that thing!

The guy that caught it is the fellow who owns the company that made the boat I fish out of, a Gheenoe. The company is Custom Gheenoe. I've met him several times and talked to him on the phone many times. While I really don't know him personally he has always seemed like a stand up guy and I have never heard anybody say a bad word about him. Based on that I really doubt Photoshop was involved.

That's why the osprey's love those goldfish.

Google xanthism.
