Somebody gaffed it before?

I caught on once before that had an oval mark similar in shape but no puncture marks. It was further back on the fish. On the inside it was fine and just looked like it had healed and was not too much deeper than just the skin. I though it looked like something had tried to take a bite out of it.

Looks like it's Puss coming out the wound.

Looks a little like a lamprey bite, too oval though. Cut that piece out and throw it away. Cook the fish it should be fine.

Humboldt squid bite.

that was my first thought too. It's too square to be one and looks far too big as well but that could be just how the picture portrays it. We do have them here but I would expect the yellowtail to eat the lamprey once it spots it. It could be an old wound from an escaped gaff. So long as the gaff does not Peirce any major organs I would think most fish if they were healthy to begin with could survive.

Man that's pretty gross!
Probably safe to eat the clean areas but I'd be pretty turned off tryin to eat any of it.
