If the fishes stomach was a long white chord, I'm sure this process didn't happen over night. You could also have seen a fish's stomach that has finally reached an upriver hatchery, which is what I'm betting if a biologist showed it to you. What happened to "eggman's" huffin' and puffin' over on ifish?

Being knowledged in diving (muff, cliff, scuba) somewhat, the colors turn to black, not white because of exactly what was mentioned above: the lure's light reflective properties. I have practiced lure presentation in swimming pools over 10' deep and they were not white, but appearing darker.

Saltwater is a perfect example. You can see a 500 pound bull shark 20 feet deep and he could be colored hot pink and you wouldn't know it. He would appear solid black.

Gonna quote backlash2 "Next............."

Mis-information or propaganda should be a crime.
