White spots on the tongue, also noticed a separation of cartilage between his lower jaw and his gills. You can see my finger through his bottom jaw. Guy also had a spot on his right side the size of a peanut and it was white. Fought hard all the way to the kayak and took right off after i released him. Any ideas what that could be?

I would say it's likely an infection caused by I multifiliis, commonly referred to as “ich” or “white spot disease" among the biological community. Fish with secondary illnesses often lack the natural bio-defense to combat "ich". It is contagious among other fishes through direct contact and can be passed between individual fish. There are other more benign conditions that may cause the presence of white spots, like genetic predisposition or inherited pigmentation. Usually there's no cause for concern unless the water body is very small and heavily populated with fish. I've seen similar cyst's in bass all over the country.

I've only seen ich in my daughter's fishbowl. We spent many times the cost of her goldfish trying to eradicate the ich. :lol:
