I am not seeing any of the "red bay snook" in those pics. I've had red bay snooks, I've had jags, I've had gold jags... This fish is NOT a normal gold jag BUT it is definitely a jag, no question. If it's still available, GRAB IT! It is a leucistic jag, something I've never seen before. The jaws, head, body, pattern, and even the fins are jag all the way. Even the eyes are a jag's eyes.

Not white enough to be leucistic....it's definitely something odd though.

Just because a fish is leucistic doesn't mean it can't be yellow. Quite on the contrary, leucisticness means "albino with black eyes" in simplest terms. (Same as calling a fish a "black eyed albino" practically)
Look at leucistic algae eaters, osphronemus and so forth - all are yellowish. Heck, most albinos are not even "white" to begin with.

Unless if somebody wants to get all geeky and technical with the Tyrosine positive / negative talk (Seriously though, I'd like to be informed, if this is the case here)

Once again - gorgeous JAG - grab it!

Just thought of another possibility... How big is this fish? From the pictures it looks nicely sized yet there is no mentio of its actual lenght (or is there?). Has anyone ever seen an OLD female snook? Many fish grow "sideways" as they mature, perhaps snook's shape distorts to resemble a jag? I dunno, just a crazy idea... :confused:
there was a size said but in the other thred

she is just over 7inche's
