  • I just usually chuck a grenade in a hole and hope the worms think there tunnels are caving in and dash for the surface :)

  • for a moment I thought he was really grunting!

  • imaging Godzilla coming out...

  • worms dont like such music - its simple!

  • My dad use to grunt worms when I was growing up. We would go on the creeks and my dad would grunt and me and my friends would gather the worms.We did this in central Alabama. However, my dad grew up in the Florida panhandle where these people are from.

  • it sounds like he is raping the wood

  • How many Buckets do they normally get a Day?

  • So how do you make a living? " I'm a Worm Grunter"

    WTF?

  • "You gotta have it in your blood..."

  • I was tryied but I didnt get any worms ,its not true I couldnt catch anything,how many minutes they r doing it?

  • @Meydan2011

    two days.. lol

  • @sobal79 xexe lol, then u have losed 2 day?))

  • @Meydan2011

    you're not losing, they are!

  • "then he slowly, rhythmically rubs the iron over the stob, back and forth. He's making the ground vibrate with this technique, and then magically, big, fat earthworms start to climb out of the soil." (0:40 - 0:54) L O L I had a good laugh listening to that.

  • 1:07 boomhour from king of the hill

  • it would be alot easier to wait till night time and then go out to pick them when they come up at night.

  • thumbs up if yu got a nature valley add

  • I thought the guy in the beginning was making the sound i was like wt* xD

  • What on earth :P

  • The vibration of him rubbing one out, makes the worms think its raining. Many types of birds will hop around on the ground to get worms to come out.

  • I WANT TO TRY IN MY BACK YARD

  • hey thats cool

  • It's the vibration going into the ground. I'm the baddest redneck. I should know. DUH!!!!

  • they think it is the rain hitting down and get out

  • That is a really great story. Nice job AP!

  • Comment removed

  • ever think about worm farms? I mean fuck everyone knows that hunters and gatherers back in the beginning of all civilizations was never as successful as domesticating plants and animals. Thats why we have FARMS and dont rely on catching shit or finding fruits/veggies in the wild. Its way more promising. SOMEBODY never went to worm-business school...

  • "it's gotta be in your blood".....lmfao

  • at least hes working :)

  • feeding worms...put them on dj am's grave! heheee

  • God bless the working man!

  • Saw this on dirty jobs it seems like a good way to get some moolaa

  • worms come out with massive headaches! LOL!

  • pmsl Grunt grunt grunt grunt Oh look my phone bill is paid.

  • ha ha think I might try this in the spring to see if it works lol

  • it doesn't mimic a mole digging it mimics rain fall vibrations

  • When he starts explaining the method of worm grunting at 0:34 it sounds rather suggestive. Worm grunting dirty talk.

    "Yeah level your ten pound flat iron over the top of my stab, and slowly rhythmically rub your iron back and fourth. Make the ground vibrate and let me see that big fat Earth worm climb out of the soil. Mmm yeah I like that pink gold"

    o_o or is that just me.?

  • @BloobxTube

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

    YOU MADE MY DAY!!!

  • Oh the irony :D

  • @MrLePov lol

  • Some of you folks are just plain ignorant. Redneck, well I guess but at least it is honest work. Nothing wrong with a simple life. Maybe you should try slowing down and just being simple for a change then you won't have to belittle these good honest peeps for makin it in this world. Keep gruntin' guys.

  • The Worm Liberation Front has beef with you guys. :( 

  • I respect this man he is just a honest american trying to get by people who make fun of him make me sick.

  • who the hell get s a job to go do a story about worm grunting, how is that news worthy!!!!

  • aw the poor worms

  • Nothing "Magic" about it. If my house was vibrating and shaking id get out too.

  • try a vibrator?

  • @snorgisborg2 lmfao

    

  • He's a human Dune Thumper!

  • Redneck or no redneck that's some awesome shit.

  • They're getting by on $25 dollars per bucket???! Cost of living must be low in the trailer park.

  • he's my new hero

  • you have to have the IQ of the worms to talk them into comming out =]

  • And what about some good old Direct Current?!

  • I wonder how they came about this technique in the first place

  • Thumbs if you think "Worm Grunter" sounds like slang for "masturbater"

  • I wanna be a worm when I grow up.

  • wouldn't it be easier if they got a machine that vibrated to stick in the ground

  • @cardi8520 A hell of a lot more expensive and less portable, and certainly less reliable. This works fine, if it ain't broke...

  • @MSUBooBoo more expensive then a stack and a file yeah, but less portable and reliable you would know because....

    a small machine could be just as portable and work fine. if so, would work better in the long run

  • i thought he was acttually grunting

  • @cardi8520 I think he is...

  • wait does the guy grunt or does the wooden stake make the noise (when he rubs the iron over it)

  • get a jack hammer!!!!!!!!!

  • Next pogy season just grunt and get a free bait.

  • really interesting now i know how to get free live bait

  • MAAAGIC... MAGIC.. MAAAGIICC. STFU news presenter.

  • LOLOL "It's gotta be in your blood to do this kinda work". Yeah... I can see some little kid goofing around with pounding a stick into the ground with a hammer, and then snatching up a worm while his awed parents say, "O M G that boy's a natural!" 20 years later, he's known as THE WORM WHISPERER for his mad worm grunting skillz, the envy of his county.

  • @NightRunner417 cool story bro.

  • that is cool

  • New sound for Pyro!

  • Ironically, they end up as bait. Poor worms. :(

  • all you know is that he has a huge outdoor grow 300 yards away

  • NICE!!!

  • So this is what George W. Bush is doing now.. becoming bait for fishes.

  • Comment removed

  • Might be the Corpsegrinder in disguise. But no one knows....

  • MMMMMMHHHHHH, MHHHHHHHHH

  • @deathray51

    Best Comment on this video.

  • K i was watching videos about screaming and grunting (death metal) and then i watch this... NOT COOL -.-

  • I saw this on Dirty jubs ^ ^!

    somehow the noise kinda sounds like a drunken tuba..

  • its gotta be in ur bluhud

  • Its gawta be in yur blewwwud.

  • Oh come on every 5 year old does that.. "It's gotta be in your blood" ..... please

  • @Omaias every 5 year old does this??? really??

  • "It's gotta be in yer' blood to do this kinda' work" LOL

  • man that guy has a deep voice.. maybe he should grunt in a metal band

  • fucking awsome! wormin's in the blood!

  • thats pretty cool i never knew that

  • put a vibrating dildo in the ground its pink just like a worm and it gets the job done

  • @cs21421 - You guys are disgusting.

  • a ja ze medzvedzoch lapaju

    

  • Good for them, working hard to make a living.

  • you might be a redneck if

  • @phesntshot No, they're 'professional worm grunters' ... gawd. x)

  • Yes, this makes sense. When the rain pats the ground it vibrates it and they come to the surface. It also, like they said, has to deal with moles. Very interesting. I just think the grunting on the persons part is an add on to the story and without that it wouldn't be such a big news story.

  • lol them there southern boys are doin that for taxes so the IRS dont get nosey. they actually run 3 stills and a pot farm

  • an honest days living

    good for him!!!!

  • with more efficient tools they could save a shitload of time...

  • @MaddogMTG Why arent there more earthquackes.

  • i might try this...xD

  • the grunting has absolutely NO effect... its the vibrations.

    It a a lot easier with two copper rods and a deep cycle car battery connected with some jumper cables... takes 5 seconds max for a 25ft diameter spot, the worms literally jump out of the ground.

  • @unclesonnyonutube can you tell me how to make that or make a tutorial video or somethin...i was trying to make somethin like that but i failed...thank you

  • @batadjoko

    go to any home depot / lowes and get a copper grounding rod usually comes about 5ft.... cut it in half.

    then go to auto zone or a junk yard and get the thickest gauge and longest battery cables you can find, then get a deep cycle battery with the most cold starting amps, hammer one of the rods into the ground about half way and the other one about 5-10ft away.

    hook up the negative first, then positive. The worms come out by the dozens.

    stand on an old tire so you dont get lit up

  • unrrgghhhh urrngghhhh urrnghghhhhh

  • cool i might try that in my back yard :) 8) ;) :P

  • When I grow up, I wanna be a worm grunter!

  • @Shreeves16 Me toooo!!!!!

  • @Shreeves16 ughhh ughhh ughhh

  • This works with the old ladies vibrator too!!! Just don't tell her!!!!

  • ummmm,,,

  • i cant do that im a scolecephobic lol.

  • that is wack diggadee dog

  • The worms dont think its the vibrations of a mole. They think its the vibrations of rain. Its an old trick.

  • scotta be in ur bluud

  • WTF? Worm grunting LMFAO. I raise red wigglers. This is interesting.

  • good little niggys

  • Wonder why they don't just farm the worms? You can grow them easily by putting them in rubbermaid containers using compost and kitchen scraps. I did it with "Red Wigglers". Grunting and growing would seem to be the way to go.

  • Comment removed

  • I only saw one grunting

  • hehehe I love it.

  • works great if you cut down a tree about3-4 inches around and cut it about a foot off the ground, get handsaw and cut down at an angle on top of the stob sawing back n forth making ground vibrate, my grandpa taught me that 30 yrs ago. you can use a rock instead of a saw but its harder to do. we call it fiddling worms in north alabama. big worms 12-16 inches. works everytime. if its dry the worms go deeper so you have to fiddle longer or fiddle by a stream or creek. best catfish worm there is.

  • lol what a character

  • I had never see that in my entier life. wow! I would love to try that someday

  • What about tapeworms?

  • its gotta be in your blood... HAHAHA xD

  • LOL, is funny how the reporter calls them professional grunters with a straight face.

  • I think its because the worms think its raining and the mole thing

  • wow 25 bucks...NICE XD

  • LMAO... xD

  • $25 a bucket. Dang..... what a job.

  • go to any bait shop and they charge about $5 - $7 for a small plastic container with dirt and a few worms in it.

  • Really makes me wonder how they discovered they could do this you know?

  • probably farted while sitting in there chair and bwazam!

  • Ima try this.

  • That cool!

  • u can also jus poor water on an area n den tap ur fingers on da top of da soil 2 mimic da rainfall i rememba doin it in school

    Peace!!

  • ra nah nar redneck.lol

  • HAHAHA

  • Worm grunters.. xD

  • that makes sense

  • MAGIC!? that must be magic!!!

    BURN THE WITCH!!!1!1!!!111

  • thats awesome

  • OOOOH PINK WORMIES :D lol. nah seriously that was amazing.

  • Together, they shall conquer the world.

    They shall conquer, SHAI-HULUD.

  • very cool!

  • these are fucking men

  • maybe this could help africa?

  • ha! thats hilarious

  • I cultivate my earthworms in compost dont use them as bait use them to make black gold soil for my 400 tropical plants all over my property.. dont let anyone tell you that you cant composte cigarette butts either.. I compost paper , lint, dog crap, old phone books cardboard, cigarette butts and the worms eat them up. The trick to this is dup your bio trash in a 5 gallon bucket of water and daily dump on compost pile earthworms are in very fluffy leaf bedding at the botto of the bin. lots o fun

  • Nice!!!

  • OMG......this video just shows you how lucky you are to be you!

  • "It's godda be in yer blud da do this kine a werk."

  • I was a professional grunter once. Now its my mating call, I just moan over some dirt and sit in wait.

  • LOL

  • lol what a job

  • My parents used to own two tropical fish called 'Oscar Fish' the guy that sold it to them said they loved worms, and the best way to get them was to pour water with washing-up liquid (from a bucket) over the lawn and the worms would come out of the ground! We tried it, and it worked.

    So, why are these idiots going to all this hard work, just for some worms? There's no need...

  • you end up polluting the world a hell of a lot with a lot of washing liquid.

    Since the most effort these guys are making is the rubbing of the metal against the stick, I'm not sure the grunting makes any difference whatsoever. How is the grunt transferred to the stick?

  • the stick is the part thats vibrating cuz it wants to stick to the metal as they apply force,,,,it grabs and lets go grabs and lets go so fast it vivrates

  • Friction wowthunsten. . .

    Viberation to the sticks will viberate the earth, it said it in there, and is common sense to know =.=;

    ._. u should think first.

    I'll shall do this next time I go look for room to fish! 8D!!!

  • The friction is applied by the lateral movement of the metal against the wood. Grunting does not seem like something that will be transmitted through the body, carried over the metal interface into the wood to create extra vibration to call the worm.

    I think they do it because it makes them feel good. And when that's the case: more power to them.

    To catch more worms, nah.

  • It seems like rain to the worms. They think they will drown..

  • When I was a kid my farmer neighbor told me to stomp my feet to make the worms come up. He said it makes 'm think it's raining. Made sense to me. Worms shouldn't come up when it's dry and I think they could travel greater distances above ground. Of course... where would they be traveling to?

  • 1:52 "it's got to be in your blood" GIT R DONE!!

  • wow..omg i would love that job lol

  • Piece of crap ad's at the end is the half way the size of the vid. Freakin Google sucks!

  • What an R Tard...LOL. But funny and it pays bills...I thinks

  • This makes life easier, I remember days when I had to dig up worms for catfish bait. LOL

  • I wonder if that's his sex noise.

  • hahaha

  • that one's probably a bit lower pitch

  • thank you for helping everyone fish :D

  • don't want to be mean, but if you can spend half a century hunting for... worms, you really need to get a life or atleast a hobby

  • Well, rednecks has to be good at somethings, its maybe not rocket science but pretty cool indeed.

  • The reason they climb up ive heard is that they think its raining.

    Ive heard that u can tap the ground with ur palms to make em appear aswell

  • lol cool , his voice is crazy DEEEP....

  • the ino on the right says its the florida panhandle....the reporter says there in the appalachians

  • he says apalachicola forest... in florida

  • damn $25 for a jar of earth worms...shoot wheres my stick
