 I've recently started catching some BG from my pond that have these bumps on them. Does anyone know what it is and should I be concerned about it? So far I'm only seeing it on my BG.

From the color of the fins, they're either Hybrid Bluegills or GSF, not straight BG. I think that "rash" could be due to spawning injuries, hot water, stress or a combination of all 3.

Hybrids.... I was in the water for 4 hours today in my tube and it was cooler than the air temp which was around 94 today.
I've also noticed that the ones I am catching with this condition are the ones that hang out around my feeder. Could it have anything to do with how much they are being fed?
