I have found that spawned out fish like the ones you caught have a higher rate of worm infestation, I'm guessing the stress that spawning puts on them reduces their ability to fight off parasites. In general I don't keep post spawn fish, the meat is typically soft, flavorless and lacking color, unless of course they are mortally wounded. How was the water color and debris down south? I saw that the Cedar was running high and had some color in it this past week.
