They’re small but seeing a bunch of them.

You do know you can harvest them and freeze what you don't use now for later use.
Of course, the wife may not be happy about containers of worms in the freezer..........

That might be the biggest catalpa tree I’ve ever seen.

Man, I haven’t seen a tree with worms in years!

They're better when they're small.

I rented a place outside Athens (Winterviille) for several years with a catalpa tree even bigger than that. You couldn't pick the worms off because the lowest hanging branches were 10 feet off the ground. I had to throw sticks up in the tree to knock some down, and then scramble to pick them up as fast as possible before my beagles got them. Beagles are bastards.

It is huge and the other isn’t far behind. This one is probably 70ft tall I’d guess.
Trunk is 3 feet in diameter easy.
I didn’t even know it was a catalpa tree until last year.

About 50 years ago we froze them in corn meal.

Is that what I used to call courtableau worms?

Is it true that when you thaw them they come back to life, or is that an urban legend?

I'm going with urban legend since they are made up mostly of water when it all comes down to it. In the animal world, there are not too many things that can survive being frozen solid and come back to life once thawed.

Legend. But the fish dont care.

State record in Alabama is 60’ I think but it is also at least 5’ dbh.

When I was a kid we were tasked with climbing the trees and shaking down the worms to fall on sheets my dad and uncles had laid out under the trees. We’d go all around the parish to places my dad knew about and do the same for a day or so. Dad and uncles would put them up in envelopes with cornmeal in the freezer. 20 or so worms in an envelope. Not sure why they used envelopes, but knowing my dad now I would say there’s a 100% chance they were either cheaper than an alternative or he found a box of envelopes on the side of the road and put them to use.
