Bass parisite or what?

A guy who lets me fish his pond was wanting some of the smaller bass cleaned out, I caught some then cleaned them and the meat was full of black specks which appreared to be some type of parasite. I've heard of other's with the worms you are talking about. I was watching the annual KY Afield Q&A show a while back and the claim those things are harmless to the meet. I'll pass on those.

Cooking the meat completely thru will kill any parasites. Most parasites transferred to humans is thru undercooked meat. If I saw the parasites on the fish it makes it hard to eat knowing they were there even if the fish is cooked. This is why it is not good to transfer fish from different bodies of water. This can spread the parasites and even disease to a new body of water that was clean. Just be careful when preparing the food and cook it all the way thru.
