6/11/2007 		I was diving today and I had a fish question about one/some of the catfish in the quarry.  I knew there was at least one albino catfish and I saw it today over by one of the docks.  Later I was over by the rock crusher and the general vicinity and I saw another one.  I'm pretty sure the one from the docks didn't cruise out to the rock crusher with us.  Also, the one from the docks was a true albino with pink eyes, where as, the one by the rock crusher seemed to have dark eyes. 

Has anyone else seen more than one albino catfish?

Would have had a great picture of one of the pike (All close-up and framed well), but I ran out of stupid film...  If/When I buy my own underwater camera it will be digital and have a HUGE memory card.

I also saw one along the wall over by the far dock.  I'm not sure what depth sinc it was a while ago, but it had to be above the thermocline because I only had a 3mm on.
