    I know that it's a black crappie, I have only been catching them for 50 plus years. I am asking about the growth in it

    Probably a soft tissue tumor :

    Tumors (fibrous or fatty tissue in well-defined lumps) are uncommon in fish. Tumors may be caused by contaminants, so check fish consumption advisories for the waterbody of origin before eating a fish with a tumor. Continuous tissue injury, infections, and damage to genes by viruses or chemicals can cause cells to alter or replicate quickly and produce tumors.

    I am waiting on the FWC biologist to get back to me. I don't plan on eating that one. Help needed , I have plenty of normal fish for dinner

    I'm curious to what it is also. If I catch one like that I will promptly remove it from the gene pool via a Mossberg 500.

    You would think the wildlife biologists would want to disect that fish and find out what it is.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!

    I guess that I am going to have to freeze it as is because of the holiday weekend, I probably won't hear from the biologist until Tuesday
