Has anyone else been seeing this on LMB tails?
Does anyone know what causes this?

Well I'm certainly no expert but my first thought would be "inappropriate" contact with an "unclean" LMB and failure to use a pondom.
But hang on for a real opinion.

This looks like quite a "Nest-Warrior" to me. You will see this quite often in the spring before and during spawning season. The males will construct a nest by clearing debris and dirt from the bottom of the pond/lake with their tail. This dude must have consructed quite a nest to impress the ladies!

I agree with FutureBoss, "Nest-Warruir" indeed

That's a very nice sized male LMB to boot.
