Here's a sauger with a twist!

LOOKS LIKE WHIRLINGS DISEASE TO ME. IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM OUT WEST IN TROUT WATERS. I'VE CAUGHT QUITE A FEW THAT HAD IT, AND IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE...IT GIVES THEM A "WHIRLY" SPINE. THEY'VE TRIED TO CRACK DOWN ON IT HARD OUT WEST, TELLING ANGLERS TO WASH THERE GEAR AFTER FISHING, SO AS TO NOT TRANSMIT THE DISEASE TO OTHER WATERS. IT SEEMS TO BE HELPING, BUT IT'S STILL OUT THERE.
I looked up whirling disease and am relieved to find that it only effects salmonoids (trout, salmon and mountain white fish). It's a bad, bad disease that is very hard to control. Glad it's not in our waters!

"Whirling disease is a parasitic infection of the head and spinal cartilage that causes juvenile trout and salmon to swim erratically — in a whirling motion — making it difficult for them to feed and to avoid predators."

THAT MAKES TWO OF US! IT'S BEEN DEVISTATING OUT WEST TO THE TROUT POPULATIONS. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T EFFECT THE FISH OUT HERE! GOOD NEWS!
