ALBINO CHINOOK WOW!

Credit to Robert Wayne, Fishing Guide of Queen Charlotte Safaris. Saw this on facebook but could not share the link because it was in a group. Pretty cool catch though! Definitely something I would mount

wow, so cool. Do you know if this is a known "condition"? Interesting that Googling search for Albino Chinook only returns info on White flesh Chinooks (like the Harrison ones) which I don't think is related to this

I read on the OG post that it was some sort of gene mutation from what I remember. An extremely rare mutation.
