After a quick flick at South Port beach I returned home happily with lunch and a few returned to the briney to fight on. Cranked up the oven, scaled lunch but when I gutted lunch it no longer seemed appealing to the stomach. Never seen it before but not sure it's worth putting in the oven just to eat the other side.There is what appears to be an old war wound 1/2 way down the side which also seems to have healed well, but the flesh is stained green, this ain't something that scrapes off the gut cavity wall!!!I was really looking forward to chowing down on it right nowDo I, Don't I? Keen but not that keen

when in doubt,chuck it out

Could have been injured by a piece of metal that got lodged in there and corroded away.You can get all sorts of colours from complex metal salts.My guess would be that's what happened and the salts have migrated through staining the flesh.

I'm not even keen on keeping it for bait!It is green so fertilizer it is.still hungry too

Just noticed your signature Mr.Keen........a bit off topic,I know......I thought Bart Simpson was the "eat my shorts" fella,and Bender was the "kiss my shiny metal a$$" type......I'm old,and likely wrong though......

thank you afishyfish,but I was off track with the name "Bender".......seems there is another oneMr.Keen and I have sorted it via pmnice pic though

Ah yes, that would be John Bender, Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club, my favourite John Huges flick.

You are correct there sir........apparently.I was thinking of "the" Bender..........you guy's are referring to "a" Bender.But give that man a cigar anyway

Back to the fish I'm guessing that was a s/t I filleted one a few months back that had a cavity in the flesh full of what looked like green gritty/muddy stuff. Needless to say didn't eat that one.

and then we'll let you know when we see your name in hatch,match and dispatch.....

Looks like you have ruptured the gall bladder while gutting and released bile into the gut cavity. I would not be too worried, fillet and cut out the green stuff and it should be fine.

people these days are thinking too much about whats bad for them or what there wife has told them is bad for them instead of living and maybe trying a bit of green fish now and then nearly every gar has some of that colour in them and caught some decent reds lately with green guts they still taste sweet filleted up;)

Nope, couldn't have done it!I thought long and hard about it (the oven was hot!!) and erred on the side of caution.I'll just have to go get more tomorrow won't I? And I finally get to use the Anglers Choice gift card my Nanna gave me for my birthday, have to replace the lures I lost today. Brand new one second cast too! Is it possible that the gallbladder was punctured previously? Than green flesh was there already and deep too.K
