Chances of you catching a legal regularly are slim. Getting out consistently is unpredictable. Life is a b*tch at times. Bottom line, you'll be fine.

I keep them. I try to pick out the worms as I see them and trust me there’s plenty in the belly section. Make sure you cook the meat completely. No sashimi when it comes to halibut.

I picked the same kind of worms out of a halibut and rockfish I caught out of La Jolla as well. I think it’s alot more prevalent than most of you think. Unfortunately so

I haven’t caught bay halibut, but my understanding is that any non pelagic fish is fine raw so long as your freezer hits the right temp and you fillet quickly/ have good hygiene with your cleaning.

Pretty much any restaurant sushi you eat will have been flash frozen anyway.
