Fascinating article on catching earthworms for fishing.

never heard of it, but beats digging though.

Never heard of it either.
I'd just collect them after a good rain.
Only used them for bluegills, perch and catfish though.
Very unusual to get a crappie on a worm where I fished.

Worm grunting is a big deal here and you have to stake a claim in the
Nat Forest. We even have a worm grunting festival in Sopchoppy, FL.
I just missed the worm grunting festival cuz my daughter was in town.

It's one fish market. Salmon tossing isn't pursued as a past time
other than to attract tourists flush with cash.

Then I'm glad it's not worms. Slugs are part of our culture too but
fortunately Eugene Oregon lays claim to the annual slug festival.
