They are a encapsulated red colored worm, or in the process of becoming one. They are more common in perch. I have seen them appear outside the body of a living fish (walleye) and retract back into the flesh when disturbed. They are pretty repulsive, but not harmful to eat(cooked). I cut them out, or poke'em with a filet knife point, knowing they are there somehow reduces my appetite for that filet. Lance

We see more grubby or wormy gills and sunnies in lakes and ponds full of weeds most of the time. That being said, if a fillet has only a couple I'll pluck them out with the tip of the fillet knife. If the fillet is loaded with them, and we have a whole mess of fish, that one sees the gut bucket unfortunately.

A lot of fish (not just gills) caught from smaller ponds have "worms". That is due to them eating the snails that infest ponds. The best solution to a snail infestation is to add shellcrackers to the pond. They will clean up the problem in a single season. And, I wouldn't eat one with worms JMHO :-).

Yes, sometimes you can see them in the fishes fins. It sucks to catch a good fish that is infested with them. The Fish and Game claim the fish safe to consume if prepared properly, no sushi unless you like the dancing rice inside.
