The news just had a story about striped bass with sores ... they showed a picture of a bass that looked like it had been skinned, claiming it was sores across the entire body and the scientists have not been able to figure it out as of yet ...
... they are thinking that it was the result of bacteria down in the Chesapeake and the fish come up here as the bacteria spreads across their body.
It was nasty, hopefully will not be catching any of those anytime soon ... I have caught fish with a sore from time to time, and once caught a fish that looked like it had a growth problem - the head was for a fish considerably longer than the stunted body, it was kind of gross.
