Don't have a clue, but looks like they'd be great for fishing!

Doesn't "Wally World" sell them in the plastic variety ???

Could the photo just be a regular earthworm, drowned and being eaten by scavengers?

The pic does look like an earthworm/nightcrawler. The small dark slug looking worms are leeches, they are in the lakes and streams up here at St. Mary's.
