The skin on the first fish changed color when put in the ice chest more than the others. The meat on all these range from very good to excellent. The meat is red and texture is excellent. The only difference is when the fish start to color (become darker), there is just slightly less flavor but still very good. I hooked onto a fire truck red one and fortunately it got off near the boat. I would not eat them when they turn red. Hope this helps.
