maybe a stupid question..

Ok, I brought one home for the table tonight and when I got it out of the car it looked like it had a pink rash on it's belly from behind the gills all the way down, some splotches on the fins and darker pink/red splotches down near the base of the tail. I did not notice them when I caught the fish but they could have been there, as it was dark. I know I've seen fish turn pink over night, but this fish has not been dead much more than an hour.

Is this a sick fish, or did it just beat it self up on the rip rap of the canal as it was dying ? I've never had one that did this before. Do you guys think its safe to eat ? I have it on ice now...
