Thanks. Ever eat one of those fish with the wormy things?

Don't worry about those worms. There yellow grubs and they're harmless to humans. Some people get grossed out by them, but they are killed when frozen or cooked. Like I said, their harmless.

Yeah-they are no big deal. you can either cook them as is or cut them out, they can't hurt you. I asked the same question in the walleye/perch forum awhile back and you can read the responses there.

Hey thanks, I appreciate the information.
I think we will give it a try. Worst comes to worst, we will just cut out the wormies.

Thanks.

Three or four of us are coming up that way to do some fishing on Red. We would also like to hit some jumbo perch. I heard that Round Lake is a pretty good bet. However, I have no idea where to go on the lake. It is rather large. If someone could help me out, I would appreciate it much.

Also, are the perch in this lake full of those cyst-like worms?

Thanks much,

Yes some/most of the perch have worms. Not sure where to find em now but we caught some in about 13 feet on the north side earlier this year. Good Luck.

Once had a DNR fellow tell me "they're just more fish..."

I heard leaving the filets in salt water over night those little buggers will crawl out of there.
I always pop them out with the knife. If I miss one or two, its nothing that 350 degrees can't take care of.
