For Donovan Pearase, owner and operator of Blackwater Cats Outfitter in Winnipeg, Canada, no catfish has ever come close to the rare creature he witnessed being reeled in on May 15.

Pearase watched as a guest fisherman reeled in a rare master angler albino channel catfish. The fish, measuring at 34 inches long, was quite the sight to behold for Pearase.

"I may have seen 15 to 20,000 cats in my life and not one that looked anything like this," Pearase wrote on Facebook.
