Echo report

If they are the same as the fish in East Canyon get, they are anchor worms. They are not actually a worm but they put their head into the muscle and the hair like end is often on the outside. Usually in the winter I mainly see the resultant scars left on the fish. Yes, they say if you cook it it is safe to eat; I usually just cut out a small hunk of meat where the scar is and feel a little better about it. If you knew all the parasites that you eat in meat, it would repulse you! I have seen perch so full of tape worm eggs in the meat and worms in their intestines, it would totally gross you out! I just make fertilizer out of those guys!
