ottoman82 41 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 So I was fishing for lakers a few weeks ago at Arrow Lake by the Narrows and I landed a nice sized White Fish. As I was taking the hook out of its mouth I noticed something squirming on the ice. I looked at the fish and it had clumps of small thin worms roughly 1 inch in length falling out of its gills over my hand and onto the ice. I got the fish back down the hole and cleaned up the ice. Has Anyone seen this before and know what this is? I have seen worms in the meat but never falling out of it's gills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
