Walleye fillet

I fish local bass tournaments and catch alot of walleye this time of year and I usually give them away or put them back. This year I decided to keep them to eat. I caught 4 nice ones yesterday. I bleed them out on the boat about 45 minutes before heading to the ramp. I had a cooler of ice in my truck for the ride home. I cleaned them when I got home and some of the fillets had black lines or what looked like veins. Is this normal and safe to eat?
Thanks

    Absolutely! You did all the right things by bleeding them then icing them. They will be delicious.

    Perfectly fine, see that in many fish we clean.
