Come underwater and watch these bass attacking bluegill! We’re using a variety of bluegill imitating swimbaits and plastic worms to elicit reaction strikes. Early Spring signals the start of the war between bass and bluegill, let us show you how to take advantage of it and catch more bass in today’s underwater video!
Once bass turn their attention to the shallows, bluegill become an immediate threat. Instinctively, bass begin to erratic them from their shallow haunts. Knowing this, we can stay one step ahead of the bass. By imitating bluegill we are able to draw on the bass’ natural aggression and ultimately catch more fish.
In today’s underwater footage we used a variety of bluegill imitators. From worms to swimbaits, we’ve linked all of the baits below in the order they appeared in the video. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included rigging components where relevant.

The best footage , is at the end. I dont want a bream imitator. PAH TOOO!!!! Thats the sound Bass make when they spit out something they dont want.
Anyone down here want to take a guy from the Northwest bass fishing ??? I've been wanting to catch big bass for a long time now, and now that I'm down here,… I haven't found anyone to take me fishing…yet.๐ข๐
Just yesterday I put on my jointed bluegill bait with very low confidence. (Watched this video night before) popping it off the bottom slow retrieve and it got slammed. When I went to grab this monster my swivel failed and bent out of the keeper. It swam off with the lure still stuck in its mouth. Upset and feeling pretty bad about it all. Hate if for the fish most of all. So that said. When you put one of these baits on. Make sure your equipment can handle a those big fish. I will definitely tie to the lure from this point. Thanks for the awesome videos. Every time I watch them I get pumped up and ready to go fishing. You guys have been my bass fishing teachers for as long as youโve been on YouTube. The best hands down. Keep it up. Thanks.
Great footage on this one, and interesting behavior. I had not realized this seasonal temperance.
Have you seen largemouth bass fight each other before?
thanks
Great video I caught couple nice fish on Berkeley gilly I think itโs calledโฆu tryed it ? Last yr first time Iโd had one
I love the dark sleeper definitely going to order more come spring time
I had good luck at the end of summer going into fall on those cheap Storm bluegill lures you get in 3 packs. I just take the bottom treble off like you guy's showed me, I just hop them around like a swim jig or something and they were nailing it. I also love the dark sleeper, Ive only caught 4 on a dark sleeper but all were over 4 pounds.
Good!
Good day,
I would like to see a video of how you film the underwater videoโs
ok
*ok*
Have you got tested the issei blue gill lure?
I like all of these baits
Must be nice fishing with no weeds.
Great job getting that footage cool ๐ times 10 !
It's s super satisfying when the bass suck us up like a vacuum cleaner.
I just wish this man was my uncle lol
crankbaits are really good, I would like to see you fish with that ๐
Great footage. Readear sunfish by savage. Segment. Give her a shot.
Every time I see Matt or Tim pop up, I know Iโm going to buy some lures ๐๐
That smallie is a paid actor.
Just like the relation between lions and hyenas.
talk to much
I Love the underwater footage. I'd like to see some drop shoting footage
Spit ty ing them out ?
Ya ok @6:23 is EXPERT level fishing!
Gteat attack
You make really good content! Itโs goals for me. Iโm in the process of trying to create a good YouTube channel with great content.
My brain the entire time: SET THE HOOK!
I did to
were is that place?
Cold weather shouldn't keep you from fishing. Embrace the cold, put on some waders and head up north for some steelhead/trout fishing next winter.
This video sux
so you gonna talk to whole time or actually just show the shit straight up. jesus christ all you youtube channels do this shit man
Kelly
I need to go on record and say that this is AWESOME!
I really appreciate your guys we videos! Keep up the awesome work.
The thing I was surprised by and learned from this awesome video is that I thought I'm suppose to reel those Bluegill baits to make them look like a real fish swimming. Then, I watch this video and see that the technic is to hope them off the bottom
One lazy bass
Anyone else hear those geese and like damn I wanna kill em
Cool piece of advice I read is catch a blue gill or perch and rub it all over the lure so the bass tastes the fish the lure is mimicking.
We'd like to thank Louie the largemouth, big bass Bobby and the rest of the sunfish school for demonstrating feeding behaviors during the spawning season.
