so my question for the pros is, is it a white crappie or a red ear ???

[DMS]

Looks like a bluegill. Not a crappie.

[cutbait]

Looks like a red ear and a tule perch did it.

[jerryG]

Agreed not a crappie.. It looks like a faded/washed out redear sunfish. It looks like a meal for the predators the living in Castaic..

[cutbait]

Kinda like an albino Sacramento perch too

[cutbait]

I think its just a red ear though

[EfrenM]

yeah u guys r right but still pretty cool to see even with all the wolves around there I never though I would catch one

[Stumpknocker]

I'm guessing it's a bluegill that is scared white from all the stripers...

[fshnritchey]

No ifs and or buts it is a pale bluegill. You can tell it is not a redear because there is no red outline on the gill spot. When bluegill or any other species of fish are in a lower oxygen environment they will get pale as in the case of the fish in the picture.
