I wouldn’t eat anything with sores but if it’s cooked it’s supposed to be safe… you can get an infection though from handling infected fish.

More info here: In Focus - Striped Bass Health

I have only come across one obviously infected fish in the last couple of years so I’m not sure how common it is up in these areas.
