Hey Omaha,
I didn't really relize how much defference there was till I looked at these to pics side by side. They were both caught in the summer of last year. What I wonder is how clear does a lake / pond have to be before you can still maintain a nice fish color like the second picture? As I said the muddy lake at best you could only see your bait about 8 inches. So if you could see your bait at 2 feet would that be enough to bring back more color to your fish? Do people who fertilize or dye their water see a color difference in their fish versus clear water?
