Hey,
The black dots you noticed were the result of a primary immune response which took place in the bass' bodies. Essentially, when specific parasitic pathogen entered the smallmouths' systems their little bodies attacked via calcium deposition. No need to worry though, from what I hear people eat meat like that regardless and if the bass appeared healthy than you should be fine. As for eating black-dotted meat again...it's really up to you, I know I wouldn't though.
