Using up some vacation time this week and I hit the river this afternoon. Fished it from about 130 till 5:00, spending most of the time in the channel to Seldon's cove. Ended up with just 3 bass,..the best one was this spotty 3.5 lber!

i've never seen a bass with those kinda spots...is that normal at all? possibly some kind of infection?

Nice bass regardless!!!!


I forgot the exact cause of those spots,..bass in some places here in CT and a few other states can get them. I do not believe that their health is adversely affected because of them though!

Nice job buddy..

Maybe that's a Dalmatian Bass. Laughing

Sorry when you own two Dalmatian everything that has spot's is in the Dalmatian family..

They are fun to watch run around after you had a few to many.. Embarassed

Just trying to learn the river a bit better than I do,....and you guys are correct,..it was a jig! I threw a few other baits,..but it was too hard fishing anything lighter because of the wind!

Black spot disease is commonly observed in rock bass and other sunfish, bass, pike, perch, minnows, and other fish species. It can be identified by the presence of black spots, in the skin, the fins, the musculature, and the mouth of the fish. The black spots are caused by pigment that the fish deposits around the larval stage of a parasitic digenetic trematode, usually a Neascus spp.

The lifecycle of the "black spot" parasite is complex. The adult parasite is found in a fish eating bird, the kingfisher. The larval parasite is transferred from the infected fish to the bird during the feeding process. In the kingfisher, the larval stage develops into an adult parasite. The adult parasite in the intestine of the bird produces eggs that are eventually deposited in the water. There the eggs mature, hatch, and develop into the miracidium stage of the parasite. The miracidium infects a snail. In the snail, the miracidium develops into the cercaria life stage. The cercaria leaves the snail and actively penetrates a host fish. In the fish, the parasite becomes encysted. In about 22 days, black spots form around the cyst. This entire lifecycle takes at least 112 days to complete.

In general, the presence of the "black spot" parasite does not affect the growth or the longevity of the infected fish; however massive infections in young fish may cause fish mortality. The parasite is incapable of infecting humans and, as is the case with all fish parasites, it is destroyed by thorough cooking. When fish are heavily infected, some anglers prefer to remove the skin to improve the appearance of the cooked fish.
