The bass had a more serious gash on the flip side so I held that side away from the camera. Do cormorants swim under fish and whack at them from below? Why wouldn't the marks be in the back instead of the belly? I have seen a number of fish over the years with marks in a similar location. Pretty healthy bass for whatever misnomer it ran in to.

Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.
