 Also, the eyes were really bulging out. Was pretty gross looking, so I avoided touching it as much as I could. Any idea what caused this?

I'd hate to point out the obvious, but aren't you holding it barehanded in that picture?

Might have some kind of parasite or skin lice of some sort.

Most likely not disease, a flesh eating disease would usually make more of a hole, that looks like an impact wound. Something like getting bumped against something while spawning (but it's early for that), having a bigger catfish attack it... Most likely it is from getting bashed on the bottom or on cover from when you caught it. I see that on a lot of fish I catch near rocks, it's just usually on the side.

been attacked by another catfish or may have been whacked by a boat prop.
