How FISH REACT to NIGHTCRAWLERS UNDERWATER! (Surprising)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2022
- This are the clearest shots I have ever got of fish! We dropped our camera in a highly pressured warm water discharge that feeds into the Potomac river.
We saw bass, bluegill, catfish, and even some tilapia down there! The fish were fairly finicky, and did not seem to interested in the worm, but we still got some amazing footage.
As a reminder we were fishing very cold winter conditions, so I am eager to see how fish react come the summer time.
This underwater camera is amazing and so versatile. I cannot wait to use it again! There is a link down below to the camera if you all wanna check it out!

Panfish, especially Bluegill are the most underrated fish. They make good eating, the are sporty and pretty fish.
You are not lying!! Nothing like catching a mess of em on a hot day and fry em up once it cools down outside! Heaven on earth
I agree the different colors
They just get picked on because they are seen as small, common, and easy to catch
@@SweetMangoMuncher They are pretty damn easy to catch. Got a dozen of them in a couple of hours.
@@santannathegreat5167 legit last night always awesome
Seeing how much a bass goes "Hmmmm I don't like the look of it", is incredible
Bass are predators…worms are NOT prey….😅
I say the worm balled up makes them think twice. If only hooked once on the end much more natural.
@@biggwillbeats4384 Dang, really? Someone should notify the bass where I live. I wonder why the bass section at the tackle shop has so many rubber worms in it.
@@Testibus00 to hook 🫵🏾.😂😆
@@Testibus00 thats what im saying, some of my biggest bass came off of a zman zinker or yama senko
8:51 😂Now after many many years I see why the bluegill bite is always rapid TAP Tap TAP Tap TAP Tap TAP Tap TAP Tap!!!!!!! It’s them shaking their head furiously with part of the bait in their mouth. I had always imagined bite bite bite … and not shake shake shake. Cool!!! Thanks!!!!
My thoughts exactly! 😂😂
Your worm was DOA and never moved a bit. Don't hook it so many times and fish with the whole worm instead of pinching it in half. If they see your worm wiggling on the bottom they'll be more likely to take it. If you feel like the bait is just to large switch to smaller worms like maybe a red wiggler.
if it dangles they’ll nip at it and pull it off the hook instead of actually biting the hook
@@ashbyscott4180 That's not always true it depends on the fish there's videos showing it on RUclips, they make this sucking/inhaling and suck the whole worm in. Yes sometimes small fish will nibble but bigger fish won't.
@@dannymaiorani519 yea
@@dannymaiorani519 i wouldn't speak for it if you don't do it yourself.
@@afkinthebrain3421 I have tried both ways, I have way better luck not bunching it on the hook, and also if you go to amy major fishing or outdoor place, they are going to tell you not to bunch it on the hook. The wiggling action triggers something in them kind of like the action you get tiger or another prey animal when something runs from them.
Pretty decent size bluegill. Can’t believe the amount and range of fish. Those black bass are gorgeous.
After watching this it is interesting to see how smart these fish are they were very aware of the suspicious bait.
Gizzard shad: "I saw a hook! I just died."
Those who know how sensitive gizzard shad are will understand this humor.
I love how fish react to Nightcrawlers especially catfish bass like largemouth bass smallmouth bass bluegill carp even walleye and saugeye creek chubs and more
Some of the sunfish color patterns look great in that clear water. Gives me ideas for paint patterns on lures
Oh yea there yah go! You’ve been killin it with that lately
@@TheFishinMagician20 try using a size 8 Aberdeen bronze hook
@@TheFishinMagician20 wax worms works best when they are shy at bitting
Outstanding clear images .. 👌 Bates fish all over playing with your 🪱 . Excellent job..
Thank you Richard 🎣🎣
Wow! This is so cool! I can't believe these fish were so active on a high pressure clear blue sky sunny day. Usually that turns fish off and then become lethargic and bury in the weeds. But that would explain why they weren't feeding, but the warm water may have kept them active if it was cold out . I can't believe there's invasive species like tilapia as well in the Potomac River! You should try injecting the worm with air using a needle and syringe. There's videos on how to do it and the worm would float up or put a floating jig head that might have helped
I know right! Yes next time I will be floating it forsure 🤘🏼
You should try injecting the worm with air using a needle and syringe ... agreed
Good stuff. I'd be interested to see real time of both the bite and how it affects the rod tip. I've been fishing the mississippi for catfish and am to the point to where I feel like I can tell the difference between a cat or a gar bite. But I'm still so curious as to what's going on under there to make that rod tip look different.of course, fishing in very heavy current makes a huge difference too.
My local river. They stock it with baby blue gill, Sunny’s, rock bass, trout, and I think there is suckers and worms are the way to go for the rock bass
What a fun video... Great shots of all those different species!
This video packs so much knowledge on how these fish react and what’s needed to get the job done. Great video !
Thanks! That means a lot!
@@cdgbdrhvnh, your way of throwing this as bait into the water is amazing and I love it. It's too bad that no one has bitten it yet, it seems. Praying for a catch is always a good idea.
i use like a pencil eraser sized piece of worm for blue gill and it works every time
Thats hilarious when the turtle came into frame. Lmao. They all seem so chill.
They are always just hangin out 😎
I need this camera to prove to myself whether there are actually fish in my locals or not lol
I love this video set up.. great to see the fish react..
Cool concept. Would love to see you do this trolling or with lures.
Awesome Mark happy new year 🎊
I'd love me some of those Bluegills for bait my brother. God bless Y'all and much peace and love from northeast Texas 🤠✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh yea! Thank you man. I appreciate you always supporting brother
I've been catching catfis and bass with hot dogs and small pieced ham marinated in garlic powder. Would love a video seeing fishing with non traditional baits/maybe even biscuit dough too.
What kind of camera is that , where to get it an can u see the video live like on your phone on is it just a go. Pro an u gotta wait to see what's on it
Would you say they were acting a little ….. “fishy” Lmao 😂
what type of camera did you use?
i think it s the way you been loadig that worm too - i started using live nightcrawlers again after only artificial but i was using a lot less worm than when i was a kid and hoooking the worm like a texas rig but leaving the tail end just 1 cm off the barbed hoook and personally i think it works just as good as loading half a worm on a hook.
I’d be so mad to see all these fish jsut swim right by my bait without bighting it 😂. Good stuff man.
Crazy seeing how the blugill.are smart enough to see that there's a line attatched to the worm
4:44 bro was like
“Yo what’s up”
Great video Mark, man its amazing what video shows you, keep it rollin brother, thanks for all you do
Hey that’s forsure! Thanks for the kind words Bobby
Love the camera even if the fish didn't bite. So interesting. I love catching panfish.
Fun video. Try a worm inflator, that’s a needle you stick on the worm to blow an air bubble in it. Then the worm will float a few inches off the bottom. I thought it was a joke the first time I heard about it but it really works great here in California.
You should use micro tubes on the surface or flies fishing for these fishes that showed in mass. They generally don't stay at the same place for long.
what type of camera is that?
We have a device sold here in the Seattle area that lets you inject the worm with fish oil (or other oils). Fish feed two ways, by sight or by scent. Adding scent makes it killer.
I always sewing string tie my worm on so as to not lose it or have it stolen and it helps to keep it on longer. Yes I prepare it in advance to keep from wasting time getting it back into the water.
I might just use this camera trick, love the ingenuity
Just a suggestion if you use a size 4 hook and put the worm on as if you were putting on a sock and elevate the hook so it's off the lake bed you will have a better chance of hooking them.
Panfish and bass will usually go for a suspended bait much more readily, especially if it's 6-12 inches off the bottom. I'm sure this would be tricky with a camera attached to your fishing line...maybe run a longer leader from the camera and put some sort of float just above the bait/hook, and give it some action every now and then.
He can also you a needle syringe to pump air into the worm
@@johnendalk6537I would like to learn how to put air in a worm
Great video! Enjoyed the perspective.
More great footage thank you for this valuable information
Thanks Jeremy 👍🏼
I love this stuff bro! new sub from me. Keep em coming!
You should try a floating jig head, or "Phelps Floater" to float the worm off the bottom. It's a pretty common tactic up north for walleyes.
I've bought 2 small round Tupperware containers 8oz with lids. I put a 1/4 of the Tupperware bowl with dirt then spray lightly with water. Then I flip logs and rocks spray areas under rocks and logs really well then wait for worms to come up.
I don't know if this applies to me. I use the whole worm, and slide it up the line, past the loop of the hook.
I love the camera view!
I break the nightcrawler in half too but I put the pinched end on the top and let the part that wiggles on the bottom. I also use a bobber and a small split shot. Been doing it since I was a kid. I catch perch that same way. Wait until the bobber starts moving and then I set the hook. Boom! Fish on! I’m from Washington state and most of the lakes around here are brown but that’s what always works for me. Never missed a fish and it doesn’t take long at all.
Fishing where im at ive been on a huge skunk this is cool to see
Great job dude. Well done. Liked and Subscribed.
Thank you for the positive feedback! Happy to have yah on board
What state are you based out? Because that's an incredible diverse range of species!
I don’t know about regular earthworms. We didn’t use them. We used what my grandfather called green worms. We’d look for the ‘bubbles’ of dirt, after a rain, along the banks of the patomac and monocacy rivers. That’s where we’d dig to find these really skinny green colored earthworms. They were much slimier than night crawlers and they smelled strong. They were hard to string on a hook, because they were so skinny, but the fish loved them.
Slugs maybe
Use a syringe to inflate a little air in the worm so it floats off the bottom a little bit !
Right On!!! They like to nibble the worm then leave you with just a hook.
That looked like a pretty good decent sized catfish
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I have a garden (22 X60) that seems to be covered nightly by these critters despite the hundreds I've taken from it. Good fish bait around here.
Very interesting good job would enjoy watching more videos like this this
The reason why your Nightcrawler is not getting the fishes attention is because it's not moving. You have to cook it on the tail half of the body. The front half has the vital organs that would cause it to die faster if you were to hook through it.
Awesome vid. Thank you for this.
Great shots Magician!
Thanks!
Awesome video bro....this was very informative
Happy to hear that man! I appreciate your support 👊🏼🎣
What interests me the most is just how much noise your reel is making through the line. I'd always assumed as much was happening and figured the fish could hear me if I was talking or something, and now I'm almost certain that's true.
Could you kindly try this? Just pull your line really tight while it's under the water and talk to it at varying volumes. Weird request I know but I really think my fish call has some merit.
beautiful shots of beautiful fish in clear water. that pond looks like a very healthy ecosystem. too cool.
Thanks! Yes these days don’t come often when the water is crystal clear
Enjoyed Mark great video action thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Bobby 👊🏼
If you want to catch the bass, thread a whole nightcrawler on the line above the hook, hide the hook in its tail and inflate it. If it suspends above the bottom you'll have a much higher chance of catching bass. Also, to keep the bluegill off, I just use a larger hook and two whole nightcrawlers. Works wonders.
Great Advise!
I've never tried that. Thanks!
What size hook do you use?
Thanks for the video. I think you would have had more bites if the bait was off the bottom. Bass and pan fish usually like to strike bait that is above or at least parallel to them in the water.
Very cool. I would like to see the same thing done with various Jerk, Crank, and Swim Baits...
If I’m fishing for panfish, I use small red worms, fishing for larger fish I will use nightcrawlers, mouths on pan fish are just quite small to handle a large nightcrawler even pinched in half, it’s easier to catch them on smaller baits.
also the worm or nightcrawler needs to be moving especially in colder weather like it looks like you were fishing in.
sunfish swims up says wut the hell is that ? bass swims over ~~~~ im not sure ! OMG ! ITS MOOVIN ! GRAB IT ! sunfish says Im not touchin it ! you nab it ! bass : Im not touching it ! carp swims up: hay lets get Mikey he'll eat it he eats anything !
AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS DUDE 🤙🤙🤙 MAYBE TRY LEAVING HALF OF THE WORM OFF THE HOOK TO WIGGLE AROUND SOME TO ATTRACT THEIR ACTION 🤔 ??
How did you miss the hook set on the first bass bro come on
Oh my god lemme tell you bluegill and panfish might not like the night crawlers as much but my goodness sunfish love ‘em up in Salisbury, Maryland.
Don't fish at the bottom.. Let your worm dangle above the bottom of the lake.. Only time you let your bait rest on the bottom is to catch bottom feeders like catfish...
You have to know how to adjust your bobber as well it keeps the bait moving even if it's dead... I'm from Lake County FL.. I was raised on the lake.. I can catch fish with bread, bologna, worms, crickets, shrimp... You name it 😂😂😂... Great video 🔥
Interesting idea and a very well thought-out rig. Makes me want to make one of my own. Thanks!👍
Glad you liked it! Give it a try!
Leave a little tail on the nightcrawler, it wiggles gets the fish interested. Dead nightcrawlers are great for catfish at night😁
Great way to see what's on the bottom of a pond
New to this channel 👍🏽🔔what camera do you use for the underwater shots?
Should build a Little foam holder to float the camera up from the bait and sinker and then you could put a hole in it looking up from then bottom at a 45° angle pointing diagonally down at your bait
Another thing. Using a love worm always hook up a bobber especially for panfish of any kind. You'll get more bites with your worm off the bottom.
Great video. Thank you.
New sub.
Tight lines! 🎣🧢
Awesome to hear that! Thank you 🙏🏼
Try a size 6 or 7 bait hook, you’ll like the results
i use size 8 circle hooks
You should probably try the floating worm trick
Gotta do more of these 💪🏿💪🏿
Definitely 🤘🏼
Don’t forget lol
I'd use wax worms. They hold up better, and the fit in a blue gill's mouth. The trouble with nightcrawler is the die too easily. So I've found I have to "twitch" a nightcrawler, to make anything other than catfish think it's still alive. Fish know what's normal in the water, your camera looks like a lure to them, that's why they keep biting it. I think it's really cool what you're doing though, please keep it up!
This is sooooo cool! Thanks man!!
Cool video. Would like to see more of these.
would love to see you do this with a little piece of marshmello or something to lift that bait just a little ...
Your videos keep getting better and better...amazing
That’s what I love to hear, thank you so much 👍🏼
Awesome 👍 the clear water was great
Thank you man👊🏼🎣
Dude pop rod tip. Once rig settled pop again. Do this 6 to 7 times then 1/4 very slow reel turn. Once you turn reel 1/4 turn and worm settled pop rod tip again.
How did you get the video signal when the camera was underwater? I see no cable and wifi is nit good underwater.
Awesome video my dude.. 💪🏿💪🏿u don’t play no games
I appreciate you man, we innovating out here 🎣👊🏼
Damn I even saw a Kentucky spot bass in there
Its better to have worms in the strike zone and not the bottom if its suspended they can see it better the eyes are on top if thier head catfish and bottomfeeders are the onlything on the bottom that much
It's all about technique, timing, and location. I fish with nothing else and bring everything in with nightcrawlers. I have no luck with jigs and lures, though im sure that's all about technique too...I have just never had anyone to teach me. But I have brought in dozens of fish in an hour with crawlers and nothing else. I use the same setup everytime. I put a small sinker a few inches above the hook (not sure the science behind it but there is a definite difference between whether or not I use it). Worm should be alive so it's moving down there. I also never rip the worm in half unless they are biting super quick. And I always use a bobber so there is no mistake of when they are starting to bite, and it maximizes the window of opportunity to know when to try to hit them. And i never keep it down there for more than a minute or two, then keep moving until i find the hot spot. I find fishing to be an active hobby...not just throw it out there and let it set. Crawlers will always be my favorite and most successful bait.
Smaller more active worms are better. I forgot what they are called but some Walmarts carry them. I think they are called Red worms or something like that. Remember to size your bait to the size of the target fish.
Great video! Thank you 👍🎣
Thanks for the positivity 👏🏼
Would be interesting to see how they react to worms that are squeezed with a small rubber band rather than hooked. Nice and extra squirmy
Wow what a good idea! I’m going to try that and see how it works.
Sick footage thanks for showing us, other YTs won’t show how you rigged up the cam
No worries!
Tilapia taste so good kept going through my head
Id like to see you try other baits like plastic worms, fly fishing flies..etc...
[thank, you for you're video and you're info]👍
