For the fish lovers out there - no fish were harmed in the creation of this photo! :D Actually, I think they enjoyed the live food (minus the hook of course).
Started off thinking I'd do this with a mini-marshmallow. Ummm...they don't sink. :P Didn't want to clutter the shot with a lead weight. Tried hiding a weight under the marshmallow but it didn't look right. Almost gave up, or used an empty hook - then I remembered I still had a container of worms in the fridge (upstairs in my office - NOT the house fridge). They were nearly frozen (have to keep the beer cold you know), but amazingly still alive. I've had them in there for months! :D
BTW, the "string" is intentional. I have plenty of fishing line in various colors and weights, but thought this would add a touch of a childish theme to the shot. You know, something a kid might use.
After I finished getting some shots I realized that I could have gotten a little faster shutter speed moving the ISO up from ISO 100. Hmmm...oh well, too lazy to set it all up again, besides my wife was due back any minute and I still had the package of fish hooks and worm container on the kitchen counter. Didn't think that would go over too well. He-he.
Hope this shot goes over "OK". Probably going to get some comments saying "it's blurry". :)

not bad. kind of fun. actually wish there was just the two fish in the background and not the one coming in from the left at the top. would also have liked to see a little more of the chest at the bottom. - 6
