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 (I've seen yellows caught at the islands puke them up) or a baby snipe-eel, 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.
