OK, I've lived in Illinois for almost 80 years and have NO idea what the hell those critters are. What are they?
Some kind of garter snake?

My guess is catalpua worms?

**ichabod** · 06-25-2017, 07:15 AM

good guess.

Looks like it. They'll catch Everything from 'gills to crappie to cats.

How big are they, and how do you fish 'em?

Can you freeze them and use them later in the year

Fish them like you would a worm or minnow, same for rigging. I've used them on jugs and trot lines also.
Never tried freezing them.
