Common. No big deal. Parasites and worms that live in fish do not harm humans, especially if everything is cooked thoroughly.Saw some parasites(?) on the gill of the sheepshead? Leech?? Worms??
off topic, but at dinner a couple weeks ago , my Sister told my Mom the reason why they serve wasabi with sushi... to kill the parasites. My Mother is already skeptical about sushi and when I showed her multiple pages of how that isn't true, I know she'll never eat sushi again, LOL. I even told her that the wasabi they serve at restaurants isn't real Japanese wasabi but a horseradish blend. carry onCommon. No big deal.

You will find that as the summer goes on and gets hotter, the parasite issues in lakes get worse.
Sometimes fish will have little worm things living in the fillets. I usually try to pick them out with the tip of my fillet knife.
When I went with someone to run trotlines on a big lake, the bigger catfish were always hung and the tails were sliced at the right place to let them bleed out before skinning and cleaning them.
I am curious if anyone actually does the "Ike jime" on fish also. I have seen several videos on this but I have never tried it. Some of the videos state that it makes the fish taste better.
