So my wife and I visited the North Carolina aquarium at Fort Fisher this past weekend. It was awesome to see the variety of fish they had on display. However, I was disappointed when I got to the tank with the largemouth bass. The ugliest three fish in the whole aquarium were the three bass. They had a funny white film on their skin, around their gills and mouth, and overall didn’t look like my favorite fish to catch. The one in the picture has like a horn growing out between its eyes. Anyone seen bass look so sorry?

That fish has a bad case of Ick!

Long night..my man had a long night 

Looks kinda like me. Didn't realize how closely I resemble a bass! That's so cool.

Yeah, that's not a healthy fish.

Odd indeed. Maybe there’s a new strain from Chernobyl? ?‍♂️

That is terrible looking. If I caught that, I would have to cut the line, would not handle it!!!

Poor little fellow. Y’all ought to be ashamed. He can’t help it. ?

Water quality issues, likely high nitrate. 

Poor guy got the Rona!  That is a new symptom! ?

That fish came from Homer Simpson's lake.

Illinois nuclear power plant lake bass.

Why it'd be on display in North Carolina is anybody's guess.
