I believe that Bruce would point out that in very dark waters, certain fish species actually lack pigment coloration and take on those dark, literally black hues.
Bruce...any help on this?

And beautiful fish they are that you guys catch Jeff......It may be age related.....I don't know how to age fish very well, but I have seen smaller coppers that are very dark too but they may be older fish....it could be a clue to a mature male as you suggest...interesting perspective....

Jeffrey, out here at several of our western lakes that have coppers in them, the large males we catch are very dark, not black like yours, but more of a deep dark gray/blue tinged with purple. The lakes are not tannic, so I guess it just must be that big coppers get dark as they age?

Absolutely Jeff......I have went in depth on the Tannic water gills in a separate discussion you might find interesting. It all stems from the thousands of flooded Bald Cypress in specific regions of the country in which fish have adapted to these acidic waters........

This fish is such an eye-catcher! Jeffrey what can you tell us about these super dark fish? Why are some 'gills (and Largemouth Bass too) almost black? Something to do with the water?

I greatly miss the site too. I was able to use the mobile version to check in every now and then to see the friendly faces, but got swamped with projects and family that I was thinned out. Sleep is considered as a luxury..ah..the fun of being young..

It has...we just missed your valuable input and testimony!

Thanks Jeffrey. Happy New Year to you too. Mine started out crazy fast, with so much to do that my head spins 24/7. Hope yours starts out well.
