I'm originally from Indianapolis...I have family in Monroe City. They call them beemoths up there too...You don't find beemoths in TN, you find waxworms. Also, TN doesn't fish with earth worms, we fish 'nightcrawlers'.
We aren't competitive with our fish....either in the water OR on the dinner table. ;D
I'm from west TN...
I use boil as well...it's very common round these parts.
We usually use the word "hit" to refer to what fish are biting.
We don't call them yellow bullheads, we call them mudcats...and they taste terrible.
We don't call them "crAHppee", we call them "Crappy"...but I don't call them at all unless they are slabs.
We call any small baitfish bream...
We do what we can with what we got...
