It's definitely not a worm, but it is really cool. Especially since it came out of a yellow.

While the partial digestion makes it hard to see what it actually is, it's probably either a pipefish (I've seen yellows caught at the islands puke them up) or a baby snipe-eel, a deep water eel that comes towards the surface to feed at night. I've seen them washed up on the beach at Scripps.

Either way, you're stoked! Congrats on the catch.

Nice fish Gabe!

And very cool...
...thing you got there!

I wonder what is it...

It's funny, you always find things out there that make you raise your eyebrows.

Last year we we picked up a blood worm looking thing on the surface...
...which was like 24" long and about an inch wide!

?! I didn't think they were growing to be that big

Did you check for inflamed labia?
