          Posted this is another forum I belong to (Maryland Shooters) and got this response, quite interesting and concerning!

          "may want to toss that fish and wash your hands due to possible fish tuberculosis - nasty stuff but nobody talks about it, it can transfer to humans

          Since the first outbreak in 1997, the Chesapeake Bay area (including the tributaries leading to the Bay) near Maryland and Virginia has had a concerning number of fish (specifically, the striped bass, or Morone saxatilis) documented with mycobacteriosis and thus a fairly high number of humans affected with all three of the pathogenic strains of fish tuberculosis [5]. The Bay serves as a popular fishing spot. New warnings are being implemented for fishermen to wear gloves and extra cover on their bodies when fishing, a new feature of known mycobacteriosis-contaminated sites.

            While there is such a thing called "fish tuberculosis" the spinal deformity displayed by that bass is not an indication of that particular disease. Actually that little guy appears to be perfectly healthy despite the spinal issue.

              Looks like Marty Feldman as Igor in Young Frankenstein.
