So first fish off the bat was a hog....15.25" is my biggest so far
So I was pretty excited.
I looked at his shoulder and it has a huge lump, like a tumor....I took it home and cleaned it and found this...
3rd fish of the day came out of the lake and had this...
I looked up this picture and concluded that it might be VHS - Viral hemorrhagic septicemia. But I haven't confirmed it yet.
I still can't figure out what the top was. The meat all looked fine and is in the fridge marinating.......but as I type this I think I am going to throw it out.
I know some guys don't worry about it, but I'm feeding this to my wife and three kids and would rather stay on the safe side.
Final results on the day...
Let me know what you guys think.
