Black pelvic fins???

I’ve fished a good number of years and never saw these fins black. We caught several on a bed like this. What say you?Attachment 399828

That is a first for me as well. Pretty unusual.

I'd say spawning colors. Here in Ga. the males will darken up just like a male crappie in the middle of the spawn. I think it's natures way of telling the females I'm ready let's do this thing. Scott

I see it quite a bit.

Attachment 399856I got into some Around April 3rd and they also had dark fins

Common on the spawning male redear. It's actually their spawning dress code!

Attachment 399858 fairly common on our lake . Pretty fish .

Good ones for sure, congrats!

not sure why we about never see a boy red ear in these parts .
but I have seen several that were really dark in the past here and there

I see it a lot its a spawning color ive noticed the clearer the water the more pronounced the color change
