couple of weeks ago we brought home 2 bass from lake lanier and filet'ed it, cooked it, ate it halfway just to realize it had worms in it? Parasites? has this happned to anyone besides me? Do all lanier bass's have worms?

Not sure if they all have the worms or not, but I don't think I'd eat anymore of em................catch and release.

Just slap some of that bass on a bed of pasta...you'll never know they're there.

Certainly not all Lanier bass have worms. I've not had that issue. I had a fish-fry on Fathers' Day weekend, and one about a month earlier. The spotted bass were fine, just fine. Deep fry! Yumm... Yes, I catch and release, too. I think if you're going to eat, then keep. No waste. A good "Wall Hanger" might look nice over the mantle, too, but I've not caught such an animal (that and the wife has other ideas).

Never seen it. If happens again take the fish to the DNR office in Gainesville.
