Nope, definitely not a parasite.

[wiredantz]

I believe that is the tape worm that Jorge showed me when he had to go # 2 in his hobie.

Midshipman. Lol!

Don't know what kind of worm it is, but I do know I'm not going to use mackerel for yellowtail bait anymore. Where do I find these worms??!!

Time to start a worm farm

[GregAndrew]

Hell with that, I am going to start making artificials to sell.

Much like every other thread thats been posted recently we seem to have missed the point of this thread.

If you see a kayaker landing at the beach and he has a YT you need to flip him before he lands

[driftwood]

Better yet, why don't we just do away with the fish report forum since only a few us go fishing anymore and post. Even better yet, lets create permanent Yakjoe forum. :eek:


Its may! best time for Yellowtail and White Seabass. Go fishing everyone and get that fish! Enough with the internet drama and hook up your own worm.

I can post my fish reports, it'll teach everyone how to catch bait:D

That thing looks too big and complex for an intestinal parasite. Was it loose in the stomach or was it embedded in the stomach lining? Was it in the gut? If it was loose in the stomach I'd think it is some thing the YT ate. It looks a bit digested. The larger end could be the remains of the skull and gill rakers. My best guess as to what it is would be a small ribbon fish. They're not common in So Cal but they are around. Mike

Did it have a backbone or any cartilagenous structure? Are you sure it's an invertebrate?

[kixchad]

I can see segments, faintly, so definitely an Annelid, so probably a Polycheate of some type. But I don't see any parapodia, so I cant say for sure. I am taking invertebrate zoology next semester, so hang tight, ill get an answer...

[no_yak]

It's definitely not a worm, but it is really cool. Especially since it came out of a yellow.

While the partial digestion makes it hard to see what it actually is, it's probably either a pipefish (http://books.google.com/books?id=S_uYbDEKyhgC&pg=PA120&lpg=PA120&dq=Syngnathus+californiensis&source=bl&ots=w5LXHq0pb0&sig=lFzT1zl97hxfZ7KWoeKbiGfRDm0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=IE5wU--wPMyFogSZuYDYBg&ved=0CGcQ6AEwCg#v=onepage&q=Syngnathus%20californiensis&f=false) (I've seen yellows caught at the islands puke them up) or a baby snipe-eel (http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Nemichthys-scolopaceus.html), a deep water eel that comes towards the surface to feed at night. I've seen them washed up on the beach at Scripps.

Either way, you're stoked! Congrats on the catch.

Nice fish Gabe!

And very cool...
...thing you got there! :eek:

I wonder what is it...

It's funny, you always find things out there that make you raise your eyebrows.

Last year we we picked up a blood worm looking thing on the surface...
...which was like 24" long and about an inch wide! :eek:?! I didn't think they were growing to be that big

[Schmalzy88]

Did you check for inflamed labia?:biggrinjester:
