I was cleaning a 16" bass the other day as part of our culling, and I noticed these things in the filet, that I'm not sure what they were. One side had 3, and the other side had 1. They were a little bigger than a bb,and when I took them out of the meat, they looked like a little piece of liver. I cut them with the knife, and you could slice them. They really reminded me of liver. They had blood in them, but it wasn't like they were a pocket of blood. There was nothing on the outside of the fish that looked out of the ordinary.
Could this be some type of parasite or tumor?
I should have taken a picture, but I did not think about it at the time. I just tossed the fish in the garbage.
The lake is in a neighborhood, so it does have lots of lawn run off, and also a golf course that probably half the course drains into the lake, and another course a half mile up stream.
Any thoughts on what it could be? Do you think the fish is safe to eat?

Sounds like a parasite (sort of worm) and the lake needs redear sunfish in it.

Sounds like a parasite to me also. Without a photo it's hard to say, but I would imagine that proper cooking procedures would yield a perfectly safe meal.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Some type of fluke. Cut it out and you're fine. It probably didn't do much harm to the fish either.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
