Yellow Worms in Fish Fillet

[pduane44]

why would you be eating smallmouth bass? eat any fish in 80 degree water and you will have a belly full of worms

Ummm.....because I feel like eating smallmouth bass. They are a great eating fish. By the way, I have filleted many warmwater fish from 80+ degree water and this is the first that had worms.

Clinostomum marginatum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is why you can hold the title, "BrownChickenBrownTrout" and he can't.

Yes I did try google. I found this article very quickly but there were many others that seemed to fit the description. I wanted to see if anyone actually encountered a parasite that fit the description I gave.

If you've been eating bass or sunfish regularly, it's almost a sure thing that you've eaten the eggs of various parasites.
If you haven't been infected, it's because you cooked them...

If you don't like the idea of eating worms , don't eat them , but if you cook your catch, don't worry about it either.

BTW: Pickling, and cold smoking may not be sufficient. Tapeworms are a common complaint, in Scandinavian areas where uncooked pickled herring is popular.

Alright, I wasn't really thinking about eggs. This is the first that had visible worms. Even though cooking kills them the idea of eating worms is just too much.
