I thought I was going to see some racing stripes when I read the title of the thread.

Could be from mishandling. Grabbing fish with dry hands

It’s called Melanosis aka Blotchy Bass Syndrome. It is harmless. Yes I have caught bass with it before.

Yes sir! I've seen it more in colder water places with Northern strain bass.

See it in winter caught fish here, dunno why it occurs in winter, but it's not uncommon. Hardly ever see fish with spots when the water is warm.
