Default Re: Spotted a odd trout all black head and white body ?

Sickly fish. Seen them before with a black head, usually a result of mis-handling by an angler. One of many instances of delayed mortality that occurs due to angler mis-handling or over handling, especially during warmer weather. Usually not intentional, just due to a lack of understanding as to what the fish can withstand. In this case I'd suspect either too long out of the water or over stressed due to a prolonged fight on the line in these warmer water temps.
