I went out to wet a line tonight durring the big blow and landed a nice keeper. So.. .after I had cleaned up the filets I ran the knife along its belly to see what it had for dinner. I noticed some tumors running along it's intestines from the stomach down to the vent. There was about 30 of these tumors about the size of a raisen. Other than that the fish looked very healthy, put up a great fight, had a good weight to it, 34 inches 14#. (I just bought a scale).
So my questions are..
What are these little tumors??
Are the common??
Should I toss the filets??
Should I give the filets to someone I dont like too much?
Bass had a big fat shad in its tummy
