First legal butt!! @ Los Almitos Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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.
