Hi All,
Got a nice Wahoo yesterday, and found 2 aliens in its guts. I'm assuming they're parasites? Has anyone seen them before?
The fish had been dead for a few hours but these guys were still wriggliing around. I have a short vid of it as well if I can upload it?
Cheers

I am so smart, s m r t I mean s m a r t.
freeze it and serve it to the inlaws on xmas day or better yet see if you can keep it alive and pull it out of the xmas turkey for a party trick.
It is a Hirudinella ventricosa to be precise, Toddo is correct, it is a Trematode (Flatworm).
