But ya great fights. Good job guys.

Let me know about count. Mine is 22 out of 30 had worms.

I've never filleted a bull black drum that was completely free from the worms. The ones we caught in Calcasieu the last few years seem to have a larger portion of the fillets impacted than the one's we caught in Bell Pass and the Fourchon area, some of which had very few worms. In the old days, we'd just fry 'em up worms and all and the worms just seemed to disappear in the process. More recently, my wife prefers we cut out the worms. The ones in the picture from 1977 had worms too.
