I think that possibly he may be referring to some sort of exotic species that
was introduced to parts of the U.S. that is similar in appearance. I read
about some species of introduced worm that was poisonous, but it was a while
back and I don't remember anything about it, really. Or he may be referring
to dung worms, which are dark red in color and smaller than earthworms. They
exude a disgusting yellow secretion, and most fishes won't eat them unless
they are practically starving. Actual red worms, otoh, are better than
earthworms for feeding I think.
