The Bigger the Worm, the Bigger the Fish

After a lengthy layup, an angler finally had a chance to go fishing again. When he got to the water, he tied on a small black and blue worm and almost immediately started catching fish in shallow water. They all were running around a pound.

He then tied on an 8-inch worm and right away caught a 4-pounder. As luck would have it, though, that 8-inch worm was the only one he had with him, and it quickly came to pieces.

The angler dug through his box and finally found some huge 12-inch worms. In no time, he had caught a 9- and an 11-pounder. Then he hooked one that he said easily would have been a state record.

Said the angler, though, "Just as I got him to the boat...I woke up. From now on, I always will fall asleep while watching Major League Fishing."
