Biloxi woman cuts into mullet, finds oil inside

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - In nine years of fishing Mississippi coastal waters, Jessie Saxon has never seen anything like this before.

"There's some right here, see it? See the oil? That's oil," Saxon said, pointing inside a filleted mullet.

Saxon got the fish from a fisherman on Biloxi's Back Bay. She said the fish were still alive and she placed them into her ice chest.

"All they wanted to keep was the speckled trout and asked me if I would like to have the mullets and the white trout."

She added that she took them because she loves to fish, "And as I was cleaning them, I was noticing the bellies looked unusually dark. So I decided to open this one up and the oil, you could smell it when I popped its belly."
