I was looking at some of my pictures from this season and noticed something out of the ordinary on one of the Smallmouth Bass that I caught.  I blew up a portion of the picture to make it easier to spot.  If you look on the bottom, you can see a small hole surrounded with a reddish mark.  Is this some kind of skin lesion?

 

If so, what causes these things?

 

Are you talking about the fishes anus?

If that is indeed the anus, then this is one of the funniest threads here.

 

There is only one hole in the bottom of the picture and that is what I was asking about.

Everyone has to learn so there are no improper questions.

 

Now PK has gained some additional knowledge which is why we are on the Forum.

I looked it over like 4 times and finally I thought, did he really just ask that. Hahaha

 

Sounds like you are in order to catch some panfish and start learning their body parts.

 

Thanks for the laugh

He looks a bit impacted to me.  ?

Glad to see this thread so that mine asking about bearings in reels can slip into obscurity.

 

 

EDIT:  d**n, forum doesn't do HTML tags?

What I want to know is why the rest of the smallmouth you caught DIDN'T have one... 

Can't believe there are no "basshole" jokes yet. (Oh, heavens! Bet I get blacklisted for even mentioning it! There goes my standing!)

Hemorrhoids 

All the bass in a local lake have the same lesion .
