its pretty big, like the size of a caterpillar and then plus a really long tail. i found five of them in a pot that has a palm in it and the pot had filled with water from the rain lately. i figured it was some sort of aquatic larvae type animal?

Not a whipworm then. They're associated with manure

Well since you are in Georgia, it must be a BigFoot embro. It's a lot safer developing in a pot filled with water than walking around in momma since the BigFoot hunters in Georgia will get you.
 
it was in a pot that has a palmetto palm in it with a bunch of bark in for mulch to keep the chickens from digging in it and it collects rain water b/c it doesnt have drainage so when i went i went to dump the water (again) i found those. there were five and i gave them to the chickens. i'm sure there are others in the pot, i'll just leave them be.

ok fourstates. i had planned on frying some up for supper but since you said not to i wont now.
 
It looks like one of those plastic "snagless" worms that used to be advertised in Sports Afield magazine. Came in blue or black. Treble hook shielded by the bulge. Don't snag yourself!
 
It looks just like those worms that crawl out of your ears when you eat those magic mushrooms only it looks completely different.
