I caught one that was covered with little bumps with black spots, and several others, like the one you show, with less severe aberations. I don't know what it is, but my guess is that it's a parasite of some kind. I'd be interested to know as well.

It is anchor worm. Usually spread by birds that are on the lake. Happens when the water gets warmer than usual in the summer. Starting to go away now. Harmless, fish can be eaten with anchor worm in the skin, no problem.
