Is it possible? I'm in hermitage pa, and he doesent stock them. I've caught a walleye in there before though, he stocks bass, there's bluegill crappie, bullheads and some big carp. Not sure what else

My guess is it was a bowfin.

could be some albino variant? ive seen some really light bullheads before

Yea could be bowfin for albino channel cat. Doesn't matter if he stocked them if the pond is big enough for birds to land they will bring eggs there. Last year I had had sunnies in my 10,000 gallon backyard pond. Best guess is that eggs hitched a ride on some ducks that used to hang out in the pond. Of course, it didn't really matter what was in the pond after sandy lol cuz it got filled in with saltwater.

Oh alright! I was thinking albino cat because I've never even heard if bowfin around here, but how do you catch bowfin? Can I use lures or just a minnow and bobber

Im guessing catfish. It would have that look when viewed from above.

Bowfin range from eastern Canada and US, south and west to Texas. They have many names, around here they are often called lawyer fish. They bite on just about anything, and have sharp teeth so be careful. I have seen them while snorkeling in small lakes at this time of year, and seem relatively fearless, not taking off until I get very close.

When you catch it treat it like a gar. Don't stick your hand in their mouth lol. I'd just use some clam and spray it with gulp.
