Paul, i've been told in the past that black spots were healed wound scars? any truth to that?

Well we know they have plenty of sand.
I did my Basis training at Fort Huachuca (WA- Chook-a) and believe me sand is not hard to come by in Arizona

(Huachuca) is an old Indian word that means too much

freaking Sand

I was told by Texas fisheries biologist Mike Ryan that it was a fungus but not harmful to fish or humans.

You can learn a lot from those Texas Fisheries biologists. I got some good advice from the guys over at the Athens Fishery concerning private pond management.

I knew the black spots were a fungus, but I've never heard the story about them grouping up like that. That's pretty interesting. Next time I catch one with the spots, I'll make it a point to try and pull some more out of the same hole.

I have also come to believe that this fungus is only in shallow water? If you hook in to some deep fish they can be very pale but when your on shallow fish they have a darker deep color like a sun tan with us, stay inside = White guys! Stay on the lake fishing all day and turn into a sun burnt/tan old dude = Papa!

I think with the shallow water fish have a greater chance having the fungus and parasites as well.
