Bass can be the target of all kinds of nasty little organisms that live under water. I normally see them with small leeches in and around their mouths. Never seen them with tape worms. Heard about a few that were full of worms when they were cleaned to be eaten.

tape worms attack the reproductive organs of bass. Should have nothing to do with the lake treatment. If you see alot come out of the lake like that might want to let fish and game know there are things they can do to control them in lakes and keep bass healthy
