Yesterday evening I caught a couple 6" bluegills that had a partial red ring around the eyes. The red did not go completely around the eyes. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera available. Is this a parasite or something else? Thanks!
Gosh, I wish I had seen this thread earlier, could have saved you all a lot of cogitating on this.
That is exactly what a bluegill looks like when he's been poked in the eye by a red eared sunfish.
