Do Bass Actually Eat Worms?? | GoPro Live Worm Footage

To answer that question: Yes, they do. But what about the worm makes it so enticing to a bass, and what happens when you throw an artificial worm? In this video, I show you how bass react to LIVE Worms, underwater in their habitat. I provide some great commentary, and I hope you guys learn something! Let me know what you think about the footage in the comments below!

This makes me think when I’m fishing they are just looking at my lures while I’m thinking there are no fish in the water.

It looks like he's seen one too many of his school mates yanked up out of the water by worms like that.

I love underwater footage! That is so much harder to get than it appears! I know that video probably took you most of the day to film. Props!

I didn't go through all the comments, so this might have been brought up before ... the HUGE difference between your artificial presentation and your live bait presentation. You never stopped moving the artificial baits. The bass were interested, but the constant movement was keeping them from moving in. When it stopped moving, they immediately started moving in on it ... then you jerked it again and they moved off.
With the live bait, you let it sit still.
MOST people fish artificial baits WAY too fast. Bass are ambush predators. I constantly moving bait "looks" like a chase. When it stops, it's ready to be ambushed.

“Looks more natural”😂 maybe Bc it’s a real worm 😂

My funniest story: I've caught one bass up to this point in my life. I usually fish for catfish. However one time I was reeling in my worm super fast to re-cast and ACCIDENTLY caught a huge bass right before the worm got to shore. I literally saw it jump and grab the worm. so that's my only bass I've ever caught story. It was on accident. 😂

Live worms are one of the most effective baits you can use for fishing (blue gill/bass) and definitely in creeks. Creek behind my house has nearly everything from cats, bass, bluegill, gar, carp, drum and a few more I’m forgetting to mention. Night crawlers are always there to have my back in case my lures aren’t making the cut.

[KDuboutdoors]

I've caught bass on nightcrawlers all my life in Ohio.

I’ve been fishing for about 40 years now and I’ll tell you this bass will eat anything that fits in their mouths

Tyler, I have watched MANY of your videos. Brilliant job, my man! This video-study specifically caught my attention because for YEARS I have been asking myself "is this the best they got?". Meaning, plastic worms look great, but they sure as heck are not fished to resemble an earth worm. I'm now 51, married, 4 children. I started a fishing lure company on the side called SPECTRUM LURES. Haven't launched my site yet, BUT my very first lure that is complete is called the CURLIN' WORM. Buddy, I figured it out. I really did. When it's ready to send, YOU are one of the first people I will send this to. Me and my boys are killing it with this new lure. Even our youngest Matthew (9 yrs) who is on the autism spectrum is catching nice 2 pound bass with it. I'll be in touch...soon!

The biggest problem with using live worms for bass is the bluegill get to it first usually.

[prkycck]

Yeah my problem with fishing with live worms is exactly that, the smaller fish which are more plentiful love them and get to the live worm more frequently than the larger ones do.

[knockerz]

Wasn’t really giving the soft plastic the right action

[AlexRamirez-vzvj]

Seriously... I dropped everything including my baby to watch this underwater footage... Lol.. Nice one bro...

[country]

This makes me change my mind about using artificial worms. This is mind blowing.

[FishAnything]

Bass are opportunistic feeders and often bite out of instinct. Not sure if they care what a plastic worm resembles, they just think it looks scrumptious! Cool video 🤗 really great footage

[lucasgreenberger]

My experience has always been that fish find live worms to be irresistible, and obviously that applies to a wide variety of fish. The underwater footage is fantastic!! Great video.

[spencerb]

They keep live worms in their mouth much longer, lots of times they immediately spit the plastic before you can even react to the bite.

[airforce]

I was river fishing and caught a 5 pounder on a worm and bobber.

[FullThrottleDirtBikes]

this is truly insane to see this live underwater footage. Great video tyler
