We also had three other fish on the line that were normal. We did even notice this til we got home. Just threw them inthe live well and went chassing the sandbass that started schooling. The lumps are not tumors. That is its spine. It's ribs were not formed right either. sorry about the pictures frist time adding any try to resize them next time. HAVE FUN AND TAKE A KID FISHING WHEN YOU CAN!!

I would have to agree on the notion that it is a genetic defect or something of that nature. Rip I never set a hook half-a**, when I set the hook, I rip the lip. RIP THOSE LIPS!!!
