That's an easy one. It was dead longer than the other brook trout or just faded faster when it died.

When I harvest my big ones I euthanize them by overdosing them with an anesthetic. Once dead they lighten up. However upon immediately freezing them open air on a nonstick surface they darken back up.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
