Name That Fish Disease!

Before you go ahead and click the images below, be warned, its pretty nasty! However, this disease is fairly common and can effect multiple species of fish. This particular case is the worst I have seen to date.

Yikes!!!
Talk about a fish with Frakles…
Don’t know if I have the stomach to handle a fish in that condition even though the disease does not tranfer to humans.

The Disease is called:
Uvulifer ambloplitis (“black spot” in fish)
Other Common Name: Black grub.

Very well explained in this link.

Cheers,

Daiwa Megaforce Plus 100TSH Baitcasting Reel

"The Megaforce. Its sounds pretty dangerous, but it isn't, unless of course you are a fish! Buying a good baitcast reel without spending and arm and a leg is tough. With fishing reels you generally get what you pay for. All of my baitcast reels cost well over $200. I had tried cheaper ones and was always disappointed. They didn't cast well, they didn't look good, they felt cheap and the were always prone to backlashes. I was pretty apprehensive about getting the Daiwa Megaforce, but a good friend of mine swore by Daiwa's quality, even in their cheaper reels. I had the chance to get a Megaforce while working in Augusta, Georgia."

My First Marlin – by Rachel Larratt

Suddenly I heard the ZIP of the line and I watched as a small Dorado launched into the air. It was a beautiful sight but it didn’t last for long. Again the line went quiet. I started to feel a little sick to my stomach. The long swim and the heat out on the water started to get to me. At this point I’d begun to feel like we weren’t going to catch anything so I went into the cabin to have a short nap in the air conditioning. The gentle rock of the boat almost lulled me to sleep. From inside the cabin I heard that sound. ZIP!! I jumped off the bunk bed and ran outside. I waited for a second before getting my hopes up and then I saw the marlin jump into the air. It was an amazing rush!
