Fish tacos a plenty.

Side note: as I was filleting the fish, I noticed some worms in the meat. Is this common? I made sure to cook it all the way through to kill any lingering parasite or parasite eggs.

Congrats on popping your butt cherry! Worms are completely normal. Cut out the ones you see and completely cook the meat to kill the rest. I prefer freezing my halibut filet before I cook it to kill the parasites because I don't like over cooking fish.

Yes, worms in bottom dwelling fish like halibut and sandbass are very normal. As stated, freeze the meat and it should kill all them buggers.

I didn't realize sand bass had worms also. I thought it was really because it was caught inside the bay where the water is usually a little warmer.

Nice job! Worms are very common in most fish. Cook thoroughly and no worries

Sweeeeet! I'm still patiently awaiting my first...

How was it gaffing and boost? I'm still not sure how that's going to work out when I get the chance...

I didnt gaff it. I kind of just swung him over on to the yak and then used my fish grip so I could take the hook out. I'm really surprised the line didn't break. It was more awkward than graceful. Lol
