Wrangled up the "Spotted Bass"

[KenBeam]

Kinda neat lookin` Bucket-Mouth don`t ya think?. See the black spots on the tail and by her belly? She had quite a few around her head as well. It`s called Melanosis.... a genetic condition seen in mature fish following several years of sun exposure. in a nutshell, it`s an increase in the melanin in the skin. Absolutely harmless. And now ya know!(in case ya didn`t!) Have a good week everyone.
