baby chupakabra bass. you will have bad luck for 15 years now. good work einstein

In the second picture it looks exactly like a ball python.
That's a cool fish.

It is not a fungus, it is a pigmentation problem. These are healthy fish, just the pigment appears different. Caught plenty like this on Rayburn and Toledo Bend.

Perfectly healthy fish. Imagine having a birth mark, thats what it is.

what a deal! thats some fun fishin in that moss! i know my mind would be set on throwin a scum frog all day long! i've caught a buncha nice fish on those moss beds like that... but as for the fish you caught... ya never caught anything lookin all wierd like that... funny

looks just like those racing stripe crappies (color wise)

cool fish, I've caught a lot of bass with the black spots, and believe the bioligists who say its just pigmentation, but I have never seen one with other colors as well like this.

Just markings. Looks like a holstein.

I've seen fish with spots like that, and I was told that when fish make their beds to spawn, their skin irritates and bruises and produces those spots. Never seen anything like that though.

Always let your dog stick his nose in your crotch in public?

The rare Koi Bass, found only on the reverse slope of the Himalayas.

Whatever caused it, I'll bet that bass can hide out real well in the brush when he decides he wants to ambush a few minnows!

Nice Pics & unusual coloring on an LMB,

Looks like he caught "The Dreaded Mad Cow Bass"..

Seroiusly though: We caught one with similar spots during a Tournament earlier this year. After it was in the Livewell all day, the spots dissappeared by weigh-in time that afternoon. It appears to be some sort of Fungus.

LMAO! Nice. Do you put anything in your livewell? Like catch and release?

I wouldn't have touched it. That fish has the same affliction that turned Michael Jackson into a white woman.

i've seen it on bass and on crappie on tawokoni and cedar creek in early spring when they first come out of cold deep water. when they get a little sun the spots will go away. they actually say its a sign of a healthy bass.
