Ah yes, reverse fishing, where you use the fish to bait the worm

There can't be many fates more terrifying than being dragged into a hole of death by a satan worm

At first I thought the fish was alive and wondered why he was so chill about what was happening

The bobbit worm is also called the Eunice worm. It is very voracious and can grow longer than a meter, but will only show the top portion above the sand in a wait for passing prey.

They say that the first land animals were fish that crawled out of the ocean and learned to breather air. Now I know what they were running from.

Normally: Using worm to bait fish. In Russia:

Fun fact: the pinchers aren't analogous to teeth, but actually it's larynx. It's spitting up it's throat past it's mouth and grabbing prey with it.

The more I observe the bobbit worm, the less scary it becomes. The way this little guy behaved suggests he's used to these feeding sessions since he was willing to venture out a little ways for the dead fish, but still actively checks his surroundings and retreats when he gets too anxious. No signs of aggression from the bobbit worm either, this guy seemed pretty passive for the most part.

why do so many sea creatures look like something out of a horror movie

I'm about 80% certain that fish is already dead. Anyone confirm?

What a cute little fellow, and the ghost shrimp cameo at 1:12 just makes this video very endearing. Two forms of cute on the same video.

That's a really cool animal! Almost more alien than sci-fi.

I'm creeped out by this thing like everyone else, but I can't deny that its holo-scales look cool as hell. The bobbit is nature's ultra rare card.

My dad was a mechanic. As a kid I would play with some of the tools from time to time. One of my favorites was this long flexible thing with a handle on one end and a retractable spring loaded claw on the other end. It was used for picking up small objects that were in tight places. This Bobbit Worm reminds me of that tool.

Imagine swimming near the ocean floor and then seeing this worm trying to catch your dangly feet.

I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

"That's it, you're coming to Brazil with me"

*Just imagine you are chilling on the ocean and some random ass satanic worm drags you to the shadow realm.*

“It’s an Alaskan Bull Worm”

A face only a mother could love.

Everyone: it’s cursed Me: omg it has a holo shine to it

That thing too big to be pushed in to that little - *OH MY FUCKING GOD*

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people

That's one odd swimming fish, almost as if someone was holding him underwater and yanking him away from the worm to make him work harder for his food

God: OK, you can make ONE animal. Satan:

I literally thought that the fish is gonna feed him.

"My kiss is so Destructive that you cant even Escape from it 😘" Me: *GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!!*

So that’s where they got the idea for the graboids in “Tremors”! 😄

This must have been the inspiration for that giant worm in Star Wars.

I’m on the toilet and my bum doesn’t feel safe.

Worm: "I just saw the ad" Peter Jackson: *"YOUR HIRED"*

I’m convinced this was the inspiration behind the movie “Tremors”.

Imagine swimming in the sea and then suddenly you get dragged down by this worm Edit: im actually worried for the likes lol

Imagine being a fish, and this thing is part of the hazards of your daily commute. It'll make you a lot more grateful that all you have to deal with is road rage, traffic jams, spilled coffee, and car malfunctions.

Real life Tremors Graboids 😂

I like how the guy tried to make the fish look alive for the vid lmao

If you look closely, you can see the word Nope written all over that fish's face.

“Aww, little worm is hungy? Oh that’s a long body you got there. Oh those are some aggressive bites. Oh.. oh! OH!”

Dude.. IT'S LITERALLY an Alien from outer space !

Worm is like "gimme gimme GIMME!" 😹

It's like a baby sarlack pit

how claw machines work/should work

1:29 Bobbit worm: Are you gonna feed me or not?

Reminds me of the worms on Skull Island in the King Kong movie.

Bobbit, Grab it, PULL IT!

0:41 - be gentle, I’ve never done this before.

That fish is like the main protagonist of a horror movie

Anyone who reads this comment: GOOD LUCK TO HIM AND ALL HIS LOVED ONES!

that thing looks like a zelda boss

Look at the shine on that thing!

Looking like the fourth temple boss in Majora’s mask Zelda.

I feel like it should make an accordion 🪗 sound every time it comes out the hole 🕳

my decision to never go into the water was the best one i've ever made....

The fish seemed like he was already dead and a human is just moving him

Fyi: this is a possum fish. It plays dead as a defense mechanism to bobbit worms, but sadly it didn't work this time 😢

This is way beyond Amazing.

Bobbie Worm is like scorpion from mortal kombat “GET OVER HERE!!!”

And that’s why you don’t dig straight down kids Edit:well then I didn’t expect this to happen and I really don’t wanna be like ThAnKs FoR tHe LiKeS but just thank you

That thing reminds us of the pet plant on the original “Addams Family “ show, Cleopatra!

I love the colors on the worm.

Just like from movie tremors

0:17 This is when he knew, He fucked up

It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Good luck sleeping kids!

That worm is actually the inspiration for the game seashine

People have them in their aquarium and don't know it until their fish start disappearing,the worms come in the gravel that is collected from the shore.

*The Eater of Worlds Has Awoken*

that’s why I love Leslie crunch Bobbit worm appears from the ground AHHHH

This fish loves to play with his life ... like an extreme sportsman. Everything for the adrenaline until it's too late!

this is actually called the nope worm in it's natural habitat

It's shiny and creepy ay the same time I dunno

therapist: sand worms arent real. they cant hurt you sand worms:

It’s like I’m watching a sci-fi movie.

God damn a true monster from hell

So this is where the ark deathworm came from

Now that's what I like to call buy one get one free

0:37 "Okay I'll let you go for now" few seconds later *joke only LOL*

Just imagine putting your finger there. Lmaoo

Fish : "Hey a monster, let's lick it !"

absolutely beautiful animal; this is exactly the sort of creature that gets me so hyped up to study sea life.

Its so pretty with the rainbow colouration

When you survive the bobbit worm, but want to see if you can continue testing fate.

now this is a creature that i call "The Devil's Pet"

Amazing to see the bobbit worm aggressively not eating what it’s eating! Title is on point!

I feel so SO relieved so see how small it really is

Alaskan Bull Worm

Thank God 99% of the ocean creatures can't walk on land.

“The ocean isn’t that scary, why are you so scared?” The ocean:

That Bobbit Worm is acting like it has a hangover.

Straight up the shit nightmares are made of!!

These things are way too terrifying to live

Is that John Wayne Bobbit's worm? That guy will never learn.

He really said"COME'ER BOI"

twist it, pull it bobbit!! hell no!!!

I'm expecting the milenium falcon to fly out its mouth

The bobbit worm just grabs the fish's face and just drags it under.

I love how it seems to never get it on the first try and just starts swinging wildly till he gets a firm enough grip to drag him to Hell

*POOT DISPENSER HERE*

Convince me these things didn't inspire Frank Herbert to write a sci-fi involving 350m long sandworms.

That worm kinda reminds me that Ghost Leviathan from Subnautica.

I seen a bunch of these swimming on the surface one night while I was fishing the docks as a kid. Scared the shit out of me lol
