Thread: Wormy crappie

I had one yesterday that was plumb full of worms. It seems to be worse this year than normal. Been seeing several with worms behind the rib cage and sometimes in the meat. I usually just cut them out. The one yesterday I discarded because of the huge quantity of worms.

I'd like someone to take a picture of this. I've heard of it but never seen it

I have seen them in their meat and have cut them out but never like what I seen yesterday, I wonder what is causing this.

Never saw in the innards but find a few in the meat sometimes . Cut out and cook , just fish cause thats what their eating . You won't gert wormy if ya cook em good .

Crappie out of the Arkansas river seem to hve them the worst. I know everything has parasites but I dont like it when I can see them!

That's where I fish the ark river

Just cut em out cook em and eat away, pretty common to see worms , you will find em on Bass as well !!!!

these are the most common found in crappie and are usually in the meat around or near the ribcage, don't know if these are the same type that you find in the intestines and stomach area but they look the same, D10's the man that can set ya clear on this one !!!!!
