Would love to know more Rapala Boy. Your the second person that I have heard from stating it is a rare gene in pike.... thanks for shedding more light on this mystery fish.

That was also my first thought Bob when my brother called me on the phone. The fish was definitely a pike however - not a walleye body. At that point I knew it wasn't a Blue Walleye despite that being my first thought as well.

My brother (Todd) and his friend (Zach) went out to try their luck pike fishing out of Braddocks this weekend. They had some success but one fish they caught was really strange. It was something I never seen before, nor my father or uncle. It was a pike that was VERY BLUE in color. The eyes were blue, all the fins were blue, even the mouth itself was blue! The body of the fish also had a blue tint. My brother was releasing all fish caught this day so he took a quick photo of just the mouth of the fish before releasing it back. I wish he would have got more pictures of the body, eyes, fins, etc. Has anyone else ever seen something like this? I talked a little with Rob (Legacy) and he said it is a very rare genetic defect. Just wondering if anyone knew anything else about this and/or if anyone else has ever caught a pike like that. Thanks!
