2. That pic of "blue earthworm" looks photoshopped. Look at the twigs, leaf on the right, etc.

Lots of things on the background are blue too, definitely looks like a photoshop to me.

3. Saturation turned up a bit, color balance doesn't seem far off

11. They are real!!!

So I understand your skepticism, blue earth worms right, how crazy. Well, I live in Okinawa Japan, and today, bout 20 minutes ago, was digging for worms to go fishing. Well, craziest thing, I found a blue earthworm and 2 black earthworms. I swore it was a snake, as it is super fast but looks just like a worm! I didn't want to touch it, for all I know the dang thing could be poisonous. But I kept scooping it up with my shovel and was finally able to transport it to my coffee can without if falling off. Then went to google of course to do some research, and found this thread. I'll try to take some pictures and maybe even a video of them and post them later.

6. That giant nightcrawler would give a bass a heart attack.

Wouldn't even need a fishing pole. Just throw the worm in the water, and the fish would be jumpin' to shore.

8. Not a Minnesota bass.

They fear nothing, which is good, because that means that no matter what ugly crap I cast, they bite!
