This happens to smallies on the great lakes. Read an article on it and they couldn't figure out why it was happening. But it was only happening to the big hawgs and only smallies never largies

Here's an old article about black spot disease in fishes:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1583889/pdf/vetsci00144-0007.pdf

Apparently, the spots are caused by the larval stage of the black spot flatworm (Uvulifer ambloplites), which forms cysts in the fishes skin.  The fish skin reacts by producing a pigmented cyst around the larva giving it the black color.  Same flatworm also affects smallies and sunnies, while another flatworm affects perch and pike.  Life cycle includes snails and kingfishers as hosts.

They say it wouldn't infect YOU if you eat the fish -- but I'd still skin 'em for sure.   :P

I think its more inter-racial relationships between LMB and Black Bass  ;D It's a sign of the times  ::)

serioulsy though...

The report below seems to inidicates it may have something to do with Catch and Release, among a number of other considerations.

Intersting stuff none-the-less!
