    Yeah looks like a bighead to me but the color? Maybe it's albino? Wonder how it would have gotten in a pond. It's like a city/community pond I think.

    Hmmmm....Does look like an "orange" bighead. Where is this pond? PM if you prefer. The color is very interesting and the first time I've seen this, but the real issue is the presence of this ANS species. Please send me some additional info.

    Thanks,

    Craig

    Craig the pond is in Sabetha. Actually a mile outside of town. No streams or creeks feed it. I was asking more about it and the landowner claims he purchased albino carp for the pond and put them in quite some time ago. A guy I work with says he's been out there before and he has seen them in there too.
