One of the prettiest Bonnies I've had the pleasure to catch.

I have to go with Golden trout. I don't have a picture but maybe someone else can post one.

When I brought home some burbot my 4 yo said they were beautiful. Eye of the beholder. I've got to get her out more!

Golden trout are very beautiful! And yes this thread is all about eye of the beholder! Golden trout caught Echo lake Utah.

I LOVE the colors on trout as much as anybody.  Last summer we summited King's Peak, and caught some amazing little cutts that looked like living jewels, I swear.  But, I think sunfish are WAY under-rated, and there are so MANY gorgeous fish in that family.



Fishing at Kaysville Pond once, I pulled up an amazing little green sunfish; glossy green back, blue lightning on his cheeks, the same blue and mango-orange flecking his sides, bright orange fins and tail rimmed with striking white edges.  He buried any peacock bass or whatever from the tropics.

The humble bluegill, too.  Brick-red breast and golden undersides, sky blue chin and cheeks, shimmering purple breaking through the broad green and black bars, and occasionally a little patch of copper glinting like a new penny just below his gold-rimmed eye.

I agree! Sunfish are kinda underrated sometimes! Beautiful Fish!

Some good looking fish in this thread!

I would have to agree on the goldens, then it's a tie between brookies and the cuts in Henry's lake


did get a pretty gill in spawn colors once

Here. is a golden I caught in early spring.

Caught this Black Triggerfish two days ago outside of Kona, it was beautiful. 




This mahi-mahi I caught 7 years ago out of the north shore hadn’t changed colors yet, and it was gorgeous. 

Still, spawning buck brookies and golden trout are as beautiful as any.
