First time fishing with minnows. what happens next is shocking!!! 

That's my type of fishing. An older gentlemen told me years ago that if I hook my minnows in the tail that they would live longer. I didn't believe him until I tried it and he was right, been hooking them in the back of the tail ever since. With minnows you do catch multiple species of fish other than crappie but at least you got a meal.

Ok...a few things i had fun with lol. 1. Bro bought damn there shiners. 2. Then put baby shiner on jig...very big profile presentation for fish off feeding times. 3. Tiny jig, but minow 3x the size of the jig which catch the crappie. Try matching minnows to your jig size and use the minnow without the jig so he swims freely. 4. Great video. I laught the entire time especially the hat!

I have tried to hook minnows any way you can hook them, and it seems to me that you have confidence in the way you hook your own minnows, will make you feel more confident in the way you fish, I have been chasing crappie for 30+ years now and still can’t get enough. Just retired so I can fish even more.

Good to see you and Champ. One thang for sure, if you don't go you won't catch nothing. Keep the film rolling 🎥.

Minners are the #1 crappie back all over. You telling me that after 25 yrs, you finally give them a try? Humph !

Hey guys.love your show.as I was watching you mention what to do with leftover minnows.you can save them but what ever you do never never throw them back in the water.you can deep freeze them for cat fishing thaw them and leave them out untill they began to smell and mix a can of mashed up sardines together good cat fish bait. thank for your response on my comment about left over mimmows.well year's ago some would give you dead minnows untill what we were doing with them .we're re using the dead one's as cat fish bait.they we're free then. you know what happened no more free dead minnow's for us .now they charge for them.

Man you guys need to use slip bobbers. bobber stoppers .swivel. and split shot and a size 6 bait hook and set the bobber stopper at 8 or 10 feet deep no jig and hold on

I sometimes put a bobbler on using minnows. Works pretty well

My PEOPLE!!!! Great to see y’all back at it!!! Had me feeling like I was on the boat with y’all lol

Enjoy this channel. You and People’s Champ make me want to get out there too.

I could watch you two guys all day. Great content. I haven't used minnows in a long time.

Glad to get back in touch with you and the people champion

Wow, nice day of catfish and bass fishing...lol Great video, I enjoyed the day you guys spent together. Thank you for the peek into your relationship.

Love the content bro. Champ like me 🤣🤣when I fish minnows that’s all that on my hook. Same as for my jigs. I’ve been in position where the crappie wouldn’t hit anything but a minnow and just turn away from jig. Other days vice versa. Beautiful lake you fished. Keep the great content coming

"You crappie fishing, man. "Yeah, I know.. I know...😂😂

That's a nice size catfish you caught

An episode of 'Brisco County Jr.' and you guys is a Sunday that can't be beat.

My guy I see you back . What a football at the end and I see people champ finally got a real rod.👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

Lmao 😂😂😂 you two are hilarious. Taring up them turtles 😂😂

Man one of my favorites sorry for subscribing late but been a fan for awhile…. You gotta take me on the water man, I’m in Vegas Lake Mead is almost gone

Funny man great video good catfish ✌🎣

Good fishing ...keep em coming Imma send you my link to my catfish Charlie show..

Love how y'all do crappie Head time !!!

Great content brother. Respect

nothing wrong with fishing for other species while your out there. Best part about fishing you do it how you like

We have been missing you!

Glad to see some new content. I enjoy the fellowship you guys have. Best fishing on the Tube

Those looked like bass minnows! The crappies don’t take to those to well, but we will see! Good luck

Dee Crappie, what’s going on my brother? My name is Jimmie Epperson. I’m from Humboldt, Tennessee. Between Memphis,Tn. & Nashville, Tn. But North of Jackson, Tn. It’s really not a good place to fish for crappie around here. Everybody that has private places. They won’t let you fish on them. Plus, I fish from the bank. I’m thinking about moving to Texas. Because it’s better fishing there to me. I mean, there are many backwaters, slues, lakes, rivers, and nice, large size ponds that are jammed with crappies. Dee Crappie, I love to fish!! Whether it’s crappies, bluegills, she’ll crackers, or catfish. I love it!! I always thought that, that was my calling. I’m thinking that, that is what I was called to do. I’ve been fishing every since I was seven years old. Been doing it every since. I’ll be 57 in September. 50 years!! Let me tell you this and I’m going to get off here. When my other three brothers and I were out of school for the Summer. We went fishing every day for three months, without missing a day. That’s how we loved it.

my kind of fishing. great channel. New subscriber

lol get about 10 dozen so if we dont catch no fish we can eat them. That's funny. Oklahoman here and I haven't got to go fishing since 2012 but I do enjoy watching you fish. Some day I'll find the time to go fishing again but until then I can watch you fish! Thank you for the video's and sharing a part of your life with everyone.

Let it do what it dooooo! Love your videos

I understand about those hills, I feel like I'm gonna die walking about fifty yards uphill from one of my fishing spots.

any day fishin is a real good day!!

I'd like one of those minnow buckets

Thanks!

I’m jumping in my soul laughing 😂 Tge Champ wants live sonar???? OMG I can’t wait for Bondo to hear about this!!!! Please let us see his reaction 😂. Bondo is gonna be trippin 😝

thaks to yall again

I like you you're a good fisherman Billy

That lady might not have belonged in that shop haha

Lol that little cat need to go back in the water

Red or gold crappie hook. 1 medium split shot about 3 inches above it and slip bobber rig to keep the depth once you find them.

Great show. Glad you are back and doing well. Please give me a shout out in one of your videos.

Great content!! Question I have a private small lake that’s filled with slab black crappie. Only thing it’s filled with Lilly’s and hydrilla every where. What would be your suggestions on where and how to fish it. Thanks in advance for your feedback

Watching you guys constantly here in Largo FL. Truly enjoying the videos. Just wishing we had big lakes in this area. But lake tarpon has some true slab crappies also. Keep up the good fishing, and stay Blessed.

Thank You, I enjoyed your program!!

Damn I've bought a lot of minnows there! I know a great spot on the lake too.

Miss you guys D

I hook them thru the eyes. Thinking fish always hit them head first. Works great.

It been a minute but I'm glad you doing ok n the people champ with u I know that you going to catch some crappies groceries today

Love your videos ?

Hey man, you s'posed to HONK for bait! We had a hilarious story growing up, about the time a family friend got chewed out something fierce by a bait lady. He walked right in her house even though the sign said HONK 😂 I don't think he ever went back to Tammy after that. Probably not even close to how the story really went, but that's the great part about stories!

Always fish with J Hooks with minnows give them 2 seconds and set the hook

What are the quick connect?

U was hung 😂😂😂😂😂first hook set

IF I EVER COME TO THE D IMA HIT YOU UP CAUSE I WANNA RELIVE MY CHILD HOOD OF GOING CRAPPIE FISHING THEN HAVING A BIG FISH FRY , ENJOY GOOD FOOD WITH GOOD PEOPLE !!!! ITS BEEN 25 YRS SINCE I DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT LOL !

I hook my minnows from the back spine 👍🏽

Would like to have one of those crappie hooks like the one on ur hat.

She really counted them 3 dozen. Yall stick with plastic for now on. Lol 😆 this earl from the walleye Marshall expo few years ago

This is the "Sanford and Sons" of crappie videos...

You not playing with the electronics bruh!!!

I fish with both.

I’m in the market for a boat 🛥️. What brand do you have? Great content and I’m a new follower. When I get to Monroe La in June I’ll try out the minnows 👍🏽

My man DCrappie, what's good?

I would love to fish with you all it would be great

Get Down 💯

That’s that g juice that turns it blue.

Enjoyed.. Are you in Texas?

Where did you get that minnow bucket

Just a hook with bait an split shot and bobber.

You guys playing

Or a stick fish as me and my son call them

Did he just keep a largemouth bass?

At least go with a high low rig if ur not used to slip bobbers😅

3:39 those look like shiners, not minnows.

Gotta hook that minnow through the mouth, through the gill, then through the top of the back. He’ll never come off

J hook for minnows bruh. I appreciate you guys trying something different.

I thought that you were gonna live baiting fer specks

Why u didn’t use the minnow by itself

i hook my minnow through the tail

I've never respected using fish finders...

You at uncle Wayne's

I don't have any thing against artificial lures but fishing old school is still the best that adds to the thrill of the catch

you guys are hilarious! he said "man my hat got more bites then we have!" id love to spend a day with those guys my side would be sore from laughing so much

Brother I love watching you fish and would love the opportunity to fish with u one day if ever come to lewis smith lake in Alabama I take u to my crappie hole u gonna love the slabs

Wearing two hates is y'all problem!!! Bad Luck!!!!

i see you missing the trim tab and strainer plate on your outboard. get those replaced ASAP! i didn't realize my strainer plate was missing when i bought my boat. i fished a weedy lake this spring and sucked up a bunch of junk into the impeller. cost me a few hours of repair and some parts. be well duder!

I love the smell of being on the water and the fuel from the boat

It's about time -I had almost forgotten about u guys -i know it's bondo fault or D or the people champ - Sergeant slab is gone blame it on crappy head TV😄😃😁👍🏾.

I fish jigs as much as minnows, but I like minnow fishing the best. I like less casting, drifting your bait, and watching the cork disappear on the strike.

Just a suggestion what I do to keep my minnows alive . I have a 10 gallon aquarium with aration . Drop a couple pieces of hard dog food or some bread to feed them. When the water starts getting dirty change it out . I've kept them alive for better than a month. As long as you keep the water halfway clean. I just use a bowl to scoop the dirty water out.

All of it is good fishing shiners or artificial sometimes they just want shiners other days artificial so its all good !!! Tell da champ 🏆 to get it together!!!!

Good to see a new video from you! I like your hat man , more bites than you guys!

In Alabama We Got Them Tuffies They The Best For Crappie And They Live Longer Than Shiners And They Are Smaller Than Shiners Crappie Love Them Especially The Orange Ones💜🎣

I like hooking them in the back because most of the time I'm able to catch multiple fish on 1 minnow.

Some big 'Ole big uns= Slabby slabs up north. 15 + up this way when they get to slab size.

Need to use a slip bomber where you can set your depth and bring it right over the top of the brush pile.

Dee " dogon bass, People's Champ " I got a place for him. 🤣🤣🤣

Why use a jig if you got minnows. Crappie gone hit minnows all year
