Serious? That would be pretty coincidental. It looked fresh. I saw a couple divers right on the edge of the kelp as I was paddling out around 5pm. Can't believe he would still be charging bait after being shot in the stomach... Tough sons of bitches.

Tony did it. He forgot his snacks so he settled for some.

His last meal. Fishaside.

Nobody guessed it. I just cut it up and this is what I saw. This thing was attached to its stomach. Gnarly. Now does anyone know what the hell it is? The meat looked perfect though.... Have a lot of people to feed on Saturday. Might it be good cooked? Freeze first? Any thoughts?

I'd err on the side of caution on that one. Looks like a wound with internal parasite that grew big. My opinion is that the meat is infected, small parasites you can't see are the ones that can ruin your GI tract.

Poor fishy.

Why take chances or gross yourself out?

Give the poor guy a respectful send off to the afterlife, and catch another healthy fish for your dinner table.

Just looking at the pictures kills my appetite. I think I'll make a margarita and give this thread a rest.

Cook well done...you can't kill it til ya grill it....

Landed a yellow roughly around the same time you caught this one. It also had a mark like that but not quite as bad. 2 experienced friends said it's a lamprey mark.

Caught one Wednesday that had same wormlike things
Everyone here said meat would be safe
Good to go
So I grilled it up
Tasted delicious

Does anyone know what this is? I got a YT with the same thing in its belly minus the external sore. It's tubular and was not moving...can't find anything on the net other than this post a year ago. No one identified what it is....meat looks fine but not sure if there are microscopic parasites. Love my sushi but hesitant.

TJones · 04-17-2016, 04:58 PM

I thought that was his bladder and just tossed it aside and kept eating.

broncobilly · 04-17-2016, 06:05 PM

U shouldn't eat it, I'll be happy to dispose of the meat for ya. Just put it on ice and I'll come pick it up.
Jk.
It's a fat body. Normal in fish. Not a parasite.

Thx to taggermike. ...pyloric ceca...learned something new today. It's normal.

Aaron&Julie · 04-17-2016, 09:58 PM

No matter what it really is, I'd have cut away that area for sure, and then some. I would have frozen before eating it too. CA law requires all served raw fish in restuarants first be frozen, before being allowed to be served.

Scar tissue from an old gaff wound.
