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!

[@fishingpervert]

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.

[@ohcomeon1111]

Good point

[@Chaotic_Enigma]

I noticed that too. Also looked like there wasn't enough distance between hook n weight, it caused more distraction than the bait.

[@zackfronk1498]

I catch myself fishing too fast as well. Often right after I catch one. Probably just excitement

[@petarcsilag]

This is 100% true. I also sight fish for perch and only way i catch them in crystal clear lake is by casting it out, let it sit for 20 seconds than move it slightly and buummm

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.

[@adamk3831]

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

Exactly, mine always get demolished by bluegill and baby perch.

This stuff is great, and I appreciated the comparison as this isn't something I've seen much of. We can learn a lot from this kinda thing - thanks again Tyler.

[@prkycck4445]

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.

[@telomeraseking1]

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!

[@brothergrimaldus3836]

Keep in touch... looking forward to that!

[@FullThrottleDirtBikes]

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

[@bankbeaterzoutdoors6185]

Awesome video Tyler. Love the concept of seeing them in action underwater. Great way to learn.

[@country1418]

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

[@Troacoli]

Yeah I wonder if they really don't care what it is, just that its something moving along the bottom

[@tristonwelsh8620]

I mean, this video shows theres at least some degree of care.

[@drob2793]

I once caught a bass with a bird in it's throat.

[@letsgonow5641]

Take the Senko Worm cut small slits every 1/4" on up one down then up then one down..See what happens.

[@spencerb891]

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.

[@lucasgreenberger7973]

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.

[@jamesrobillard8652]

facts, seems to still have the line from a bait and artificial lure that it fell for recently. which means the hook and the bait are still in his mouth and or gut and he is more wary of whats seems to be real or not.

1:34 The bass has fishing line coming out of it's mouth. The reason it didn't bite may be because he has a hook in his mouth.

Thank you so much for this vid it helped me catch some big bass

[@gregstabryla9945]

Good stuff. Just got me to subscribe. Saw your stuff a while ago. Now knowing what I missed.

[@Aviewfromthetube]

Personally I think that worms most closely resemble freshwater leeches that are found pretty much everywhere. Up here in my part of Canada, we catch tons of bass on both leeches and worms. Depending on the water levels, springtime flooding or just high water in general will wash worms into the system as well.

[@WheresTheSauce]

Ok but you also have to consider how many times this one bass has probably been caught on artificial worms. After a few times being caught they do become weary.

[@lukec6168]

This is why I very rarely use lures. It’s been a long time since I caught a fish on artificial, about a year. But, whenever I use livebait the hook up ratio seems much higher and much more productive

[@joegooderz2735]

Yeah, you just gotta present the live bait as natural as you can. Otherwise the bites no better than artificial.
