You can't necessarily tell if a fish is infected by looking at it from the outside, although red lesions often is an indicator. You have to open the fish up and examine the insides to see if it's starting to waste away. Wear gloves when handling bass, period.

I've seen a LOT of fish this year that I suspected were infected...not a good situation.
