Are those what we called gumbos?

That's a winner. These guys describe 'em pretty well;

"stank is worse than stink"...! ROFL

So we have green worms, river worms, rodeo worms, gumbo worms, sewer worms, a few others, plus the illustriolus stankin jim. You'd think they were Bigfoot or something, no one seems to know what they really are.

...Did you all know that if you dig them at night and pulled them out fresh they have a green glow?

Yeah, but I decided later I had too much to drink that night, so the memory was suspect. Good to hear I was saner than I thought. :-)

Yes tamped them with a gas powered tamper like you would use to tamp ditches during back fill.

Ahh yes 😉  The ol'Wacky Packer.   I've put my time in behind one of those.

My Grand Father use to electrify the worms out of the ground. They would come shooting out of the ground and then we would pick them up and go fishing.

We find "green worms" here in Iowa along the Missouri and Nishnabota Rivers.  They do stink and they do catch fish.  We would keep a potato fork in our boat and pull up to a dark colored mud bank and start digging.  Cheap bait!!!
