Piece of advice, don't set your circle hooks. They're self-setting, so when you get a bite don't yank back like you normally do, instead reel extremely fast for a few seconds until you feel the hook pull itself into the corner of the fish's mouth. I used to set circle hooks too until someone thought me this, and ever since I have never missed a fish on a circle hook.
For bait fishing, try size 10 trout hooks and a super small bobber. No weight and open bell are a must .You have to let them take it like a bass on bed. Thanks for the videos!
Better than that, find fly tying hooks since they go waaaayyy smaller, I use a size 16 for bait fishing and compared to my buddies using 10s even I double the bait. Worm also fulllly covers the baby hooks so everything eats without question(high pressure spots)
For the night crawlers, turn the container upside down (with the lid on of course). They will dig down to the bottom of any container they're in so when you flip it right side up all the night crawlers will be at the top of your container making them easily accessible.
Couple tips that work for me with live bluegill for big bass: - circle or octopus hook 2/0, no bigger - snell knot for better hookup ratio - hooked behind dorsal fin 1/4-1/2” into body - use small party balloon very lightly inflated as bobber. Bait lasts longer and they don’t give out. More action - give ~10 count before setting hook. They rarely spit it so wait longer. They are trying to eat head first so need to get it positioned right then pull snelled circle hook from side swinging hookset and it’ll get side of mouth. You want hook to rip out of bait easily and stay pinned in bass. Harder with big heavy gauge circle, hence why going a bit smaller on hook size Good luck!
Any video where you include Tera is a good video and worth watching. She's a very good fishing partner, she holds her own and fishes as well as any guy you take along. I think more videos with er wether there or any other body of water would be amazing
ive been fishing once and loved it, im trying to get into it more but im not sure how, ive got a rinky dinky beginner pole and don’t have enough money to get a new one, but ive already caught 14 inch bass on it for my first time, and im starting to find fishing so fun
Tip for the worms: I’ve fished my whole life and for blue gill I thread the worm on like a Texas rig but keep it going all the way to where u can’t see any of the hook try it out and let me know what happens love your content man keep going. 👍 ❤️
Yup!! That’s how my worm is put on, too. Makes the fish have to work for it a bit more and usually makes them just grab onto the hook versus nibbling all your worm off.
If you want to maybe catch more bluegill try covering the hook with the worm you will catch way more bluegill because the are kinda scared of the hook if they see it
For live and cut bait I always use a 8/0 circle hooks, really allows the hook to set deep in their mouth and they catch all different sizes of fish. Another thing I noticed was that you were setting your circle hooks, me personally I just let my line get tight and just lift the rod up and reel. Love all the videos man, i learned to bass fish watching your videos, and I’ve been bass fishing for 7 years. Tight lines brotha
You certainly don't need that much worm for Bluegill. They will go for the smallest of pieces. Just let them run off and reel, don't yank. Love the content!
Bro fishing for big bass with baby bass is the best thing ever especially when bass are spawning and the big bass are waiting on the edge of the shallows for the babies
Hi, your videos are amazing! Your survival skills are admirable. I learned a lot from your video and will definitely apply it next time I go on a picnic. Looking forward to your next video!
When you feel a bite, this will increase success rates. 1. Reel slack out of line 2. Slowly lift rod tip 3. Reel slowly until max tension 4. Catch fish
only 27% subscribed? Is that still accurate? c'mon ya'll I subscribed on the first video!!! Let's go!! This guys can even catch a biggin using topwater ducks.
Recently I’ve been catching bluegill on apple snails. Just pick some out of the water , crack em open and use some of the leathery muscle stuff. Gets crazy bites and stays on the hook a lot better than a worm.
I've fly lined many 3 to 4 inch baby bas to hook up multiple double digit bass,!! Better than fly lining 1.5 to 2 in (candy bait) crawdads! Keep on fishing, best of luck to you.
Never fished for bass with live bait but when fishing for catfish with live bait and using circle hooks I have noticed it’s harder for a big hook set but to let them just take i”the bait and hook themselves. I’d use J hooks if you are trying for a big hook set!
When putting nightcrawlers on you should always try to keep the bait as close to the hook as possible so that the bluegill can't pull the bait off without biting the hook.
The hook size you were using works completely fine, I usually have a better bite rate when I use the full red worm and work it on the whole hook (hides the hook and the worm is more active)
I’d suggest using rod holders when you set out multiple rods. I bought the KTB TV bait caster and I’d hate to loose it !!! I love the combo and the videos 🎣🎣🎣
