I boated a 3lb LM yesterday that was covered with black splotches. Other
than the splotches, the fish looked great. Anyone know what's going on with the fish? It was on Van Sciver Lake in SE PA. |

One bass released in our club tournament this past Saturday was marked like
Old Paint.... as if someone had drawn a world map on it with a black marker. No one knows why these dark blotches occur, but the black spots are not a Largemouth Bass Virus symptom, in case you're wondering. If they do result from some sort of organism, chance are it's benign to bass and harmless to warm-blooded predators as well.

Several bass in the pond across the street have black splotches. They are all
very healthy looking, are getting bigger and fight like you know what. So, I would say that the splotches are not a big deal to the bass. Brad Coovert 2003 Angler of the Year, Greenfield Bassmasters http://www.greenfieldbassmasters.com |

Pretty common around here Richard, especially on Van Sciver Lake. I caught
a 6# there a few years back that had a raccoon-mask on its eyes, pretty cool. Say, have we met on the water? Warren "Richard Liebert" wrote in message ...

Speaking of which... Is there a definitive way to identify a spotted bass

Mouth is smaller, and there's a very distinctive oval of teeth on the SB's
tongue. Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message news ![]() Speaking of which...

Warren - I fish on a Bass Tracker Jet Boat. Only two of these on Van Sciver.
Mine usually has the bicycle seat setup on the bow. I'll look for you, I know you fish Van Sciver and Manor. -Rick "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

It's just a bunch of PWC members, been going on for 25 years or so. They
start next Tuesday, launches at 6:30 from sailboat cove ramp. $15 per person, includes lunker. You & your son would make a perfect team. Weigh-in is at midnight. Mike, the leader of your club, knows me well. WW "Richard Liebert" wrote in message ... Who runs the Tue night tournament? I usually fish with Bucks County Rod and Reel. Nice buncha guys!
