Caught this fish a couple seasons back, it had the most wicked yellow eye. Anyone ever seen anything like it?

That's pretty cool Sam. I haven't seen anything like that before. I've seen the "blind" eye look (foggy), but not that.

BTW, the Ranger is still treating me well. I like it more than I thought I would.

That is really different. Like ledo, I have seen several muskies with an eye that looks like a person with horrible cataracts, probably from earlier damage, but nothing like that. What is really striking is how even from a distance in the lower photo, the eye is noticeable. (When I first read your topic line, I thought it was a repeat of Aron Rodgers "Yellow Weasel!" audible last night which apparently means run, wide left)

I had to look through a bunch of my old pics because I was sure I've seen yellow eyed fish. But nope, they all had normal black eyes. Must be unique or some mutation. Cool fish.

A friend in Kentucky caught a black muskie with bright yellow eyes like yours, it was thought the fish was blind but not too sure about that.

My wife thinks it is from eating too many ducklings... I think it is from the mustard it puts on the ducklings

I caught a Tiger last June that had the same yellow eyes. They were almost highlighter yellow like. This is cool to see that you got one too because I was trying to do some research after I caught mine and couldn't really find anything on it. So crazy but really cool. I wonder what causes it
