Giant worm snake thing off FL Coast YIKES!

[Fish_Whisperer]

Yeah... How WOULD you capture something like that? A big net? What if it's dangerous or venomous? What would something like that eat? What would you do with it after capturing it? Most importantly, will it taste like chicken?

It looks like someones tape-worm escaped when they went diving. As for capturig it.....a big peanut butter jar???

i can imagine having a 7ft worm of unknown strength on ones person complicates an ascent to say the least

will it taste like chicken?

I'm guessing a cross between rattlesnake and escargot

That was dirty.

Any tips on live capturing an unidentified worm thing anyone?

yes, get the intern to do it

 

[DiveDiva_Ashley]

I'd go with a large net myself. Would have to gather the top though so it wouldn't ooze out.

Very large meshbag then into a HUGE bait bucket when back at the boat im thinking

yes, get the intern to do it

crap, I am the intern! Stupid grad school
