Part of the digestive system
Those are called pyloric caeca, part of the fish's normal digestive system. I think they produce enzymes and may be larger in more predatory species like sambos.

Haha I'll pass on that. All
Haha I'll pass on that. All the flesh is in the freezer as bait now! Will last 35 years cause we will only be able to fish when mark tells us we can.
