A 15-year-old boy was fishing in the Tennessee River with a fishing guide when he caught a rare leucistic blue catfish.

Edwards Tarumianz caught not only the uncommon fish, but also the attention of social media impressed by the rare find.

eucism is caused by a very rare, recessive gene, and is similar to being an albino in that it lacks most of its color pigmentation. Leucism, however, does not have the pink eye that is a characteristic of an albino, according to Fox Chattanooga.
