Thanks Tyler for including me in the video. I think it is super important for all anglers to stick together. It doesn't matter if you are chasing bluegill with worms or tossing a $700 glide bait out of a 110k boat.

We all love the outdoors and we are on the same team. It doesn't matter what species you prefer or how you choose to target them. It doesn't matter if you are planning to feed the family or strictly catch and release.

Get out on the water and get kiddos out on the water. Let's pass on this love we have for the outdoors and our water ways.

I have not used live bait for awhile now It's just because i get a different satisfaction knowing I trick a fish into biting an artificial lure 😊

[hectorcamacho]

I don't get it. Why in the world would live bait be considered cheating??? If we want to talk about cheating, let's talk about fish finders and live scope!

[josephcancino]

We used live bait the other day after months throwing lures... sometimes fun to get back to bobber and live bait fishing.

[tukywuky]

great video again tyler, i appreciate you really looking into the live bait side of fishing, as ive never really looked at it as a viable option for me

[kylemolletfishing]

Great video Tyler. I was just having a discussion with a few people about this same topic earlier today. Being able to manipulate your lure can sometimes trigger fish to bite that won't eat live bait, and other times its the other way around.
Cool to see C-Bass (Caleb)on here too.
Maybe start a series where you have conversations with different guides around the country.
God bless you brother.

I don't even know why using live or cut bait would be considered cheating. Cheating is fishing with dynamite.

[Gangster_brotha]

Have caught many big fish on live bait and have also caught big fish on artificial lures. Although artificial lures are a lot more fun and entertaining, your almost guaranteed to catch fish on live bait. Love your videos Tyler. Keep it up God loves you.

[DividedWeAllFall]

Always happy to see a new video! Thanks for all your hard work, and God bless everyone!

Been fishing since I was kid. Ponds, rivers and even out in the bay. Nightcrawlers, blood worms, squid have always produces excellent results. Then again when I fish I am always just trying to get the biggest lurking on the bottom, not a specific species. Mainly just catch and release but I may start taking them home for dinner. I've even caught huge bass on hot dogs. Thanks for the informative video.

I like live bait for catfish and artificial for bass!

[tylercundiff]

This is CRAZY but I just went on a guided trip with Caleb 2 weeks ago on Chickamauga 😂 dudes a stud…highly recommend if you’re looking for a guided trip out here! Caught a bunch of 3-4lbs on live shad and a 25lb blue catfish 🎣

[freddyj]

This video would have helped me out a lot a couple of months ago when I started fishing! Thank you!

[APolishedTurd]

I got a little red wagon I tote my four year old son around in with our tacklebox and bait. Four pvc pipes rigged up as rod holders with zip ties.
Good stuff.

[BradinManheim]

Poor people who don’t have bass boats and who actually fish for supper almost always use live bait.

[AI-PRESIDENTIALHEADQUARTERS]

Hey Tyler, can you start a Tyler's Holiday Special? For example, on Christmas( or any other day) since it's cold out and bass fishing has stopped you could do a pike and musky video with NASPELTZ. Just an idea

[iancoulter]

Do bass corner bait fish in coves and corners 2 weeks before winter and will go after any fast lures? And if so how do I know when that is.

[RippedLipsBassFishing]

My opinion is Live bait! Can’t go wrong especially saltwater. But artificial is awesome for freshwater.

[kunaiwithchain]

Definitely depends on the species. Some fish just like bait more than artificials (looking at you, catfish and carp).
