Two questions

[hoggerhead]

the first is, we caught a catfish this morning with little red warty bumps all over it, does anyone know what this is? The second question is one of the blues we caught had 10 or so ant sized snail looking things around its mouth, does anybody know what that is?? Those suck creek cats are just flat out mutated emoVomit

HH, they glow in the dark also. They head to the gorge when their body count gets full at the nuke.

The snail-looking things are a species of leech and although small, they are mature. You'll often find them on the chin of blue cats all year 'round. No problem. The warty-looking things I've not looked into, but tend to show up in the warmer months. I'll ask my fish biologist friends for more info and pass it along!

Thanks eric, its glad to know the snaily things are not harmfull. I would definatley like to find out what the warts are though. It seems like the channel cats are the ones with the warts.

I have seen warty like blisters on a bream in Febuary and for some dumb reason I tried to inspect it with my naked hand. emoPoke With the lightest touch the blisters just popped. A deformed scale also detached. Since then I neither developed blisters or deformed scales so I guess it was not redily transferable to humans, most viruses are species specific, until they go through a serious enough mutation. emoFish

Hey Eric, I have the answer to that. It is a little red warted catfish. Very rare, man-eater. Don't go near the water. emoBigsmile emoUpsmile emoGeezer
