parasites in Bluegills?
Went out this morning and caught a mess of bluegills from a small farm pond and while filleting them, I found a small, goldish-yellow looking worm in the meat from under the dorsal fin. Once I picked it out with the tip of my knife, it started wiggling and looked like a tiny (1/16" or so) leech.
Any ideas as to what it is? Are the fish still OK to eat?
