The last thing I want to see is worms when I pull in a nice fish, but the reality is that its pretty common. I remember the first halibut I caught had them and I was bummed, before I read up on the subject.
Don't rely on salt or lime to kill them and freezing can help at -4°F for a few days.

Here is a nice read and best practice for dealing with parasites.
