Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Has anyone else been seeing bluegills that have a white mucus around their mouths or backsides. i've been seeing a couple everyday and i've been find dead bluegills with the same substance on them, and they also dont want to bite on anything. If anyone has any knowledge of this disease or knows if it is even a disease, please share your knowledge.

Please post a picture if you have one. It would be nice for othrs to put pictures of fish problems and the treatments for them.
Magnolia Rick's group, Your Pond, would be a good place to gather this kind of info. Pics are probably available online by searching. Maybe gather some of those in a Disease discussion in the Pond group.

One thing I see on here is lots of great info, lost in space. Our groups would seem to be a start for organizing lots of our stuff. Tagging our discussions, pictures, videos and blogs would sure make searching easier too.
Did you ever find out what this was for sure? Is it treatable? Did it go away?
