Fish with alarming ‘blue-green’ mouths are being caught in New Mexico lake, state says

If you've ever eaten too much Kool-Aid, you know what it does to the tongue and what's happening to fish caught in a New Mexico lake.

New Mexico Game and Fish says that pike from the Colorado border are showing up with blue-green mouths.

The fish look like they are drinking blue food coloring in the photos.

Jim McDonald and his friend were fishing on the lake when they noticed something strange about their pike.

The fish I caught had mouths and tongues. McDonald wrote that he had never seen this before. The fish were caught near the weed line.

He said that the pike caught in deeper water didn't show any signs of being colored.

This is not the first time it has happened at the lake. The cause is still unknown.

According to the post, it could be related to diet or genetics.

NM Game and Fish officials want to know if other people have seen it so they can get to the bottom of it.

We want to see more documented cases. NM Game and Fish said location, date and anything else is important for biologists.

There is a fish with mouth full of teeth. The experts have an explanation.

An expert says there is a lot of flies on the lake.

There are people and a dog in a boat. There's a rescue video that you can watch.
