jk,

Throw him back in, and let nature decide.


Well, first of all, it wasn't nature that caught him on a hook, and

second,
I'd like to keep him (along with my other wild-caught fish).

Jonathan if this has a whitish appearance it is likely a fungal infection.
You can net the fish and while gently holding the fish in the net apply some
meth. blue or other anti fungal medication directly to the spot uisng a q
tip.

Rick,

tip.


Although a little secondary fungus appears to be showing up, most of it
appears to be internal swelling. So I don't think dealing with the fungus
would take care of the problem.

Thanks.

they are a very hardy fish and it will likely be fine. I have a dozen
Lepomis megalotis (longear sunfish) at the moment in a cold water tank.
