Not sure if I understand the reasons but a veteran caster once told me that a fresh ocean fish is much darker in color...both the stripes and general coloration.
not sure if this observation was limited to a one specific area...or if it applies to all regions. Some fish like halibut and fluke do change their coloration based on environment....I am not sure if this is similar or based on some other influence...like diet.
I thought that if others have noted this it could be used to ID migratory fish.
