Horned pout?

Does anyone know if horned pout have worms already? Haven't gone for them in a long time and would like a fish fry.

Thanks guys,

I used to fish Horned pout alot this time of year and never found worms in any of them..

I wish you luck, my old horned pout fishing buddy past away some years back, he was a die hard horn pout fisherman, bamboo poles and all..

I was planning on heading out for them on Saturday.  I have never found worms in them in the past.  First time Ive actually heard of it to be honest.  Is this really a problem with them?  Im used to seeing them mostly in perch and such.

Last time i went i got 4 around 13" and while cleaning the second one little white worms were working their way out of the flesh of the first one.

Thanks for the info.  Ill keep an eye out for them from now on.

Been out with my dad once and limited out on them.  Took my son to a different spot twice now from shore.  Total of 27 between those two trips.  I have been keeping an eye out for these worms and have not noticed a single one of them.  Glad to see they are not in the places that I go.

I have not caught any with worms this year but my last trip the bigger ones were absolutely riddled with yellow grub.
