Default Holy Bobbitworm!!!

We stopped at our favorite LFS and were shown the scariest Bobbit worm ever! It was out back and 4-5 feet unstretched... probably 8-9 feet long. Apparently it was eating corals and fish, they smashed a basketball sized rock to get it out... holy moley! Thought I share ;-)

That's a size 10 shoe bravely placed in for scale.

Eww gross!

That dwarfs the earth worms next to it, let alone the shoe!

Thanks for sharing mason! I'm going to crack open every piece of LR in my system just to be sure now.. Nope, just kidding.. I will be having nightmares about this 10 foot worm though haha.

Lets go fishing!

Thats a pretty big worm, but not quite as large as Steve Weast's worm.
