What eats fish??

[FINRAZOR RODS]

Funny thing happens on the way out last weekend. Clearing out the ballies and looky what we find in one of their throats: BIGGEST parasite I've ever seen...

Now that is a nasty looking critter. Ugh.

throw that dude on a hook!

I hate those bugs...you can usually tell when a hoo has one cause it's throat is kind of puffed out and distended. I take them out with the point of a hook (a WAHOONBOX trick).

Ewwwww... I wonder if it is like a caterpillar and turns into something else?

[brandon558]

We have found some monsters before aswell. Normally they just look a little buldged up in the throat area. I dont think i have ever seen one quite that big though.

Thanks for sharing

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing that's in all the menhaden's mouths too. I forgot the name of it,but I'll remember sometime or another.

[Capt_John]

They're called "Tongue-biter" parasites. They get into all types of fish all over the world. We just tend to see them in ballyhoo and menhaden the most in our area of the world. Nasty little buggers.
