    Default Mouth rot?


    Found two fish floating today. Both were 1.5-2 lbs and had recently died or were about to die. Eyes were still clear, etc.

    Both looked like their mouths were rotting off.

    What is this?

    They're both still in the lake (private place, not Barnett), BTW.

    I picked one up at Enid the other day that was breathing but floating. It was 10 or so inches long and the inside of the mouth was turning light brown. It was a male fish, I just assumed it got infected from acting like a ram protecting beds all day

    I picked up one at Enid that looked about like that. I didn't know what was wrong with it. Still don't. When I first saw it coming toward me, I had the notion, "Hey, a FREE fish!" Close evaluation relieved me of that notion.

    Had some fish like this 2-3 years ago in me reservoir. Would let ye just scoop em up in a dip net. They ate fine tho. Believe I was told it was a fungal infection because of the nutrient rich water from crop run-off. Now whether this is correct i am not 100% sure.
