I have caught a couple bass lately that look like they have been hit on the side or have some type of virus on them. They were all at about the 14-15in size and the side of them have damage to the scales and when you push on the damaged area its soft like the scales and bones have been broken? Would bigger bass do this to them or is it a virus? Seem healthy other than that, swam away good and put up a good fight.

I'd remove them either way.. No need to spread a virus if it is and a wounded fish prolly won't make trophy status. I said probably before anyone jumps on me..
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
