Anyone know what is wrong with this fish?
Walleye caught on southern edge of Pickerel on sept 16th.
We obviously didn’t eat it, but weren’t sure if we should kill it to prevent spread? Thanks for any input.

Yep. These are gross looking but pretty common and are only skin deep, not affecting the meat. I've eaten dozens with this.
