The boy used a Vienna sausage for bait. Do any of you skilled tyers have a pattern for a sausage.

That would be a San Juan worm tied with fat brown chenille. For realism's sake it would probably need to soaked in bacon grease.

To get down in the depths of the "mighty muddy" where that big boy lived you probably need to go with the pattern where you weld a 5/0 hook to an inch and a quarter of 5/8" steel rod and wrap it in tan foam, a matching felt disk on each end to hold the bacon grease would be a good addition. Lob it upstream of your target, don't worry about mending your line.
