So, you just put sour gummy worms on and that's it? Surely there is more to the story..

I don't know about everybody else, but I spritzed them up a bit with Dead Red before I tossed them out. Two sour red gummy worms on a 8/0 Gamakatsu, each just hooked through the middle once, I'm not bass fishing. Santee Cooper rig with a 4 ounce sinker and one of those small weighted Comal foam bobbers to provide float about six inches above the hook.
I was going about 50/50 that it was a joke until last night.

I thought this was a years long running joke. This is blowing my mind, lol. But hey, i didn't think chicken breast could compete with shad, and I've seen it outperform with my own eyes.

Heavylead I thought this was a joke too, like asking a new golfer if he waxed his tees. Okay now for the real answer please. Does anyone uses sour gummy bears for bait? Just to show I'm serious I'll provide a bait tip. Fresh shad is a good choice when fishing for catfish.

Yep. It was actually a 6/0 circle hook, confused my rigs and rods when I was typing the original post. The blue in the pic hit the gummies about 10 last night like a ton of bricks. It had been out for maybe an hour before I got the hit.

Well, y'all convinced me. I went and filled a bag of bulk neon sour gummy worms at Sprouts. Whenever i get a chance, I'll give it a go. I guess I'll spray them with dead red if i can find my bottle.

I think I'm gonna need to see a pic of a gummy worm hanging out of a fishes mouth when caught. Lol +1 I filleted that 15 pounder tonight and got curious about the stomach contents. Some sort of fish bone and one of the sour gummy worms, in three pieces. That was a trip to see, even after knowing what I'd baited the hook with. Shame that it was already swallowed by the time I took this on the shore:

I'm still in disbelief. But, I have to try. For science!
