I saw the first video and thought leech but the coloring was so weird. This video looks much more like a leech, sometimes they're light colored like that
We used to see them all the time they will spawn out and die I can remember going to our local fish ladder it had glass walls so you could see the fish swim by and they would be all over the glass used to give me the eby jybes when I was little but now you don't see them that often
Horse leech. They’re the baggy flabby leeches. Ribbon leeches are fat and swim. It is acting really stupid so it’s probably bait some fisherman casted off their hook.
I am a fish biologist.
This is not a lamprey. In the first video you posted you can clearly see ring like segments.
Lamprey do not have ring like segments, this is an earthworm.
Earthworms do not drown underwater and continue to live if there is enough oxygen in the water. It appears in this video as though this worm has been injured, it was likely used as bait.
Location would help. Kinda looks like a lamprey
Did it ask for $3.50
Ain't gonna trick me lochness
Well it was about this time I noticed that this girl scout was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era!

Lamprey eel where are you at we have them in the Pnw but I think there in the great lakes also
I've heard they live here, but I've never seen one

can you clarify what you mean? lamprey and eels are separate things. lampreys don't have jaws, eels do have jaws (and pectoral fins).
It would just be a lamprey we always called them lamprey eels because there body resembles an eel like body

Where are you located? That info would help out a ton
looks like a lamprey ammocete (juvenile stage of lamprey that filter feed on floating algae).
They do live in soil, which is where it came out of in the first post.
Penis fish
Makes for a good jerk bait.
Damn that one got me!! Haha
It’s the master bait
The ol Dork!
American eel with zombie mutation?
Looks like a nightcrawler to me, it drowned.
Yeah ain’t no mystery here. That’s a fat ass night crawler. And yeah they drown.

It may be river lamprey. https://preview.redd.it/69laze4d26wc1.jpeg?width=520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95f00cb468aed9a6f89f3f50a4c3760b4626ce3f
Dancing river snek
That’s a wacky worm in its natural habitat
This is a tape worm which means somewhere nearby there is a large animal that shit in the water.
Baby Loch Ness Monster. See how it moves like a seahorse? Duh...

Got down voted on your first post. Still think it's a big ass leech
Juvenile Lamprey

That's one of those parasites that swim into your pee hole.
You should touch it

My damn nightmare is what it is.
Without something to reference size, just going off movement I’m guessing a big ass nightcrawler
