I had wondered what happens to bass when they get, strip from the hook and swallow a plastic worm.
I have had quite a few "get my worm" before and I wondered what would happen to them.

Well I caught a roughly 2.5 lb bass that had a very 'corroded' plastic worm sticking out it's gullet. I promptly removed IT and MY plastic worm from it's gullet and released him. He looked and acted as healthy as any fish I've caught from that lake.
Guess I got my answer.
