Reply With QuoteLooks like a male fish beat up from fanning nest and then caught some type of infection. Just my 2 cents that might not be worth one.

Hope you did not put it back in the water. Just throw those kind away.

I caught a small bass last week that had a couple of those in it's mouth. Like Paw Paw said I figured it was some kind of infection. It sure looks nasty.

I would say it looks like Cancer, after an injury.

I've seen fish with that in Mermentau basin. I don't fry the tail so just felayed and ate as usual.

I saw a bass a few days ago that was caught in Toledo bend with something that looked just like that, but his entire body was covered in them, the guy that posted the picture didn't know what it was either and I never saw any comments where anybody for sure knew what it was

Now that's weird right there for sure... and I agree that it looks more like an abnormal growth of cells... like a cancer or some sort of mole-like cluster. Whenever in doubt about such anomalies... it is my general rule of thumb to support and advocate for the gut bucket method of disposition myself.
