How to use LIVE BLUEGILL to Catch Bass!!

Pick up a MF'er shirt! ► bit.ly/MFerTee
► Bass fishing begins at 4:08 ◄
Sometimes you have to get out and do some bank fishing for bass, and there's no one I'd rather take than this little dude! I love getting back to my roots and expanding my horizons to different types of fishing...hopefully you guys can get out and try this at your local lakes. Remember, TAKE A KID FISHING. It may change their lives, but at the very least, you will create memories that neither of you will ever forget.

[@deinoCOTW]

underrated comment

[@isaaclopez3161]

I was fishing for little bluegills, much like you were, with a little dock demon deluxe, and a 4 lbs bass CRUSHED it. It is currently my PB

[@utahfishing3917]

MAX IS A BEAST DUDE!!! KEEP TAKING HIM FISHING! KIDS NEED TO LEARN FISHING IS AMAZINGLY FUN!!

[@OwenMiller99]

Being watching you for while trying to improve my bass game. Thought this bluegill vid would be fun to try this morning at a local spot ive nailed some 3-5lb bass. First try and ended up nailing a 7lb catfish instead but had other bites so definitley fun and got snagged alot less since the bait gets itself out of the rocks. Cant wait to see more vids!

[@edmundmendenhall9617]

Love to see you out whit your sun an doing things i did when i was younger

[@eliwolfe9067]

Man....I love you're commentary and your father figure-ing!!! Awesome video!!!

[@ansonbird2877]

My buddy at work was JUST Talking about doing this after work for Cats and Northern. LoL Love the Vid. Keep em comin.

[@brucesnyder939]

Great video.Just love when the kids get to catch some fish too

[@UNCLExBOBBYxB]

Awsome man! Great dad, son moment! Fish on and good luck with your career move!!

[@MichaelJones-tk4xt]

Any day you can be on the lake and bonus have your kids with you is a huge joy and blessing.

[@TeamWagy]

Guys, here is a top secret that I don't make any videos about because people know which pressured ponds I fish but the way I fish them makes it 10 times easier. Do you live by a pond where you can see the bass all the time but they just will not hit your lures? What you need to do is tie on a dropshot, and catch some baitfish out of that pond that they eat. Then, rig the bait on the dropshot on the hook by going in the mouth and through the roof of the mouth, then simply fish. The bait will tell you when a predator is around because you will feel him trying to get away. then you will feel the bass swimming away. then set the hook haha it's the best way I've found to fish pressured ponds, it works best if you can fish off of a bridge or gazebo and watch. It's really money

[@haydenbrown6490]

Team Wagy thank I will try that because the pond I go to isn't pressured but you can see them eating bluegill

[@rizon588]

oh... I do this all the time...

[@swampthingforteinadeyate9007]

I know what you mean, the bait will let you know if hes about to get chomped. Ive had some crazy topwater blow ups where my bluegill or shiner will go straight to surface, do a little splash then BAM topwater explosion. Or like you said they will suddenly get super active underneath then shortly after your line will start running. Ive recently gotten hooked on live bait fishing because of the action ive had. Im 33 and fished artificial since i was 12 or so up until about a month ago. Only time i fish artificial now is when im throwing casts between catching fish on live bait 😂

[@rjjensen8484]

absolutely enjoying your videos man👍keep them coming

[@lushboi2183]

Blue gill is my fav catfish bait tbh. I used a bluegill and caught my pb blue catfish on a kayak. It was 16.31 lbs. and I don't catfish fish much nor kayak fish so that was the full experience

[@robertgiese4913]

You’ve done a great job bonding with your son, whether you catch anything of not. Good Dad, aarf.

[@VexxJam]

Nice opening tunes!!! Thanks for the vid 👍👍

[@foreignbeggar3783]

i’ve never thought about using live bluegills for bait, but after seeing this... i’m definitely gonna give it a try this spring/summer. I really only fish ponds, and the ponds I fish are so overrun with bluegill it’s starting to stunt their growth and shit. the owner won’t let you keep any, so I might as well use em as bait.

[@bryan-hm3sb]

You changed my life many thanks!

[@danielochoa972]

Awesome video with your boy.. The frog catch and cook too.

[@ricrinehart975]

I use 3 to 4 inch bluegill and it typically Catch-22 4lb bass I like to cut the tail off makes them less maneuverable and they just kind of vibrate around in the water and the bass can't resist

[@UMDadie]

You should hook the clip on the top of the bobber too, not just the bottom like you were. Push down the little red top to expose just the hook at the top. Do both hooks and you won't lose a single bobber. But awesome video- love seeing the joy in your sons eye while fishing too!

[@michaeljones8771]

That's fun, kid's day. Nice work.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Nice change of pace....always a good thing to take a kid fishing...well done mfr

[@kenstets12]

It's kind of cool, you took me fishing at this lake when we went to IWCC back in 09-10. I feel cool I got to fish with you way before there were any MF'ers!!

[@Savage_Gamer777]

As a gamer like my self there’s nothing better then seeing kids out here fishing I been taking a break from Games and just fishing it’s do relaxing in the morning😊

[@erickramirez9805]

That is awesome man. I wish i had fishing moments with my dad.

[@drumandball]

That neature walk reference was on point. Kudos to you.

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Awesome video bud love my fishing time with my daughters

[@malarkp2]

Love watching your subscribers climb buddy. I'm up near Lake Champlain actually 20 minutes from the elite series launch this weekend. May post some Video, Happy for you, Glad its all coming together.

[@justinjohnson3847]

Like the video. Very practical for bank fishers.

[@dajackisback4609]

Love these live bait videos

[@MillikenFishing]

It was definitely something I hadn't done in a while and I seriously loved it.

[@justinbailat9563]

I feel like nobody goes fishing with bluegill but u did it so thanks.

[@andrewwolf4963]

In my head I don’t understand how Max and say Lojos son aren’t constantly out bass fishing and seemingly don’t know how to use a baitcaster... is max using a spin caster lol , Ben come on brother go teach that boy your ways. It would be super cool if once a month you took him out and taught him, and tried to help him beat his PB. It could be a series!

[@anthonyvalore]

Yo. I catch a lot of fish on my spincaster!

[@DwayneMcguire]

Your very welcome love the guy coming up and mentioned the flair lol

[@MillikenFishing]

You're the man Dwayne.

[@rileysprindis2174]

What's best for carp and catfish fishing in a murky shallow river?

[@Royall577]

The best video yet! If you don't have a child you don't understand. Sometimes I have more fun watching them catch fish. Keep the great videos coming!

[@MillikenFishing]

You're absolutely right. Thanks a ton!

[@grpexpress3395]

Royall577 go

[@noyopacific]

My child is a 25 year-old girl who loves to catch fish. The only thing she likes more is out-fishing her old man. I've made sure that she catches more and bigger fish than me lots of times and whenever she does, I whine like a little bitch, and she loves it!

[@mikek3638]

There's a pond in TN where my bro lives where one of the only ways to get the big ones to bite is to do this technique. Saw a guy land a 4 and a 5 one day doing this. Nice to see Slaunch Hunter Jr. (aka Max) out there with you. I have 2 kids and they will be fishing soon too. Nice vid!

[@andrewmiller3767]

Good stuff man. Quality time 🇺🇸

[@ron2893]

Awesome Max with the photo bomb at the ending .

[@bensnyder4520]

You are so awesome this video was litttt

[@fromtheedge2theledge]

I love this video. To know where your going, you must remember where you've been #ThrowBackFishing 😎🎣🐟

[@wearefit4christ]

He's doing better than I have been doing since I started fishing again with that one fish he caught.

[@drewfarmer4088]

Keep up the good work brother. These vids are awesome. F a job. Lol

[@johndelacy6847]

Ok I just read the comments and saw you got it already. Like I said.... later than late. Lol. Great videos! 🎣🎣🎣

[@hankgarcia7572]

Good job my man, any one that takes their kids fishing is all right with me. Good fishing and keep your lines tight m

[@guy_incognito7538]

"Okay, so that is not a bite... That is a stupid bluegill" I lost it XD

[@silverares2349]

I agree with Clayton Brown, if you attach the line to both ends of the bobber there is a less chance that the bomber will come of when you set the hook.

[@JasperLeroux]

I was fishing at the Saguaro Lake here in Arizona yesterday, and I saw a dad and his son fishing. When he said his son's name, which is also Max, I immediately looked over expecting to see you. hahaha, but of course I didn't.

[@pjanoo6973]

I love using lures but live bait seems to work more of the time

[@g64870c]

Fishing on my Birthday here. Nice fish. I have 3 grandsons to take fishing one day, but 2 of them live 8 hours away and the other is only 3 right now. One day it will happen.

[@javiersp01]

Good job taking a kid out for fishing. Keep going man. Best regards from argentina

[@Tatation1971]

Great Dad keep up the good work bud!

[@rickp2312]

Great video brother! I love taking my kids fishing. It’s so much better to see them slay the fish. Good job brother!

[@michaeloconnell4853]

What size hook you using to hook the bluegill and what is a good hook for bluegill

[@canna-cabobs3456]

i fishes when i was a kid & just started 2 weeks ago to take my kid fishing. he had fun & wants to go back. but something else happened i think i got bit by the fishing bug. 😂 it’s all wanna do now. how do i go about fishing a pressured pond that has bass but people haven’t caught in sometime?

[@mammalucy81]

I live in Millard I've been to that lake and caught good fish

[@charleswilder2985]

A good time! Good for Max!

[@KayakChris]

Good stuff, makin' memories!

[@catfishingwithjimmyandtimm7954]

Digging the videos man. Keep it up, gonna love seeing your channel grow! If you're ever in NC let me know and we'll get on some big catfish!

[@theblakeshow8486]

I use like a 4 inch blue gill hook it in the middle with a catfish hook and cast it to the middle of my pond and there are some big catfish but I mostly get bass

[@antavina1]

Max is a certified slayer

[@MGFishin]

Milliken, I know you've been doing this for years but down here we have a 9,10,12 and a 14 on the wall from live bluegills. Instead of setting as soon as the bobber goes under, wait and let the fish run for 30 yards then set.

[@Eiangames]

The terrible idea it'll swallow the hook by then

[@MGFishin]

@@Eiangames never happens. And we let them swim with it for up to a minute and a half.

[@Eiangames]

@@MGFishin had them nearly get that hook after I left them swim with it for only like 10 seconds

[@tristonthompson6526]

keep up the good work love you videos and everytime I see my uncle drink those natural lights I be messing with him letting him know the new name is called Natty lights lol

[@BunkerBlog]

I like that drone footage. Good video!

[@ontariobasshunter3841]

BY FAR BEST FISHING CHANNEL PERIOD..

[@moisesramos476]

What size hook were you guys using? Any weight applied?

[@zachsousa4395]

Love the use of slaunchy

[@EBspeciesfishing]

Great video! We're going to do more of this kind of fishing.

[@OneGuyThatIs]

Bro luv your videos so I liked and subscribed

[@manuellopez6958]

Really like your channel bro keep up the good work

[@chronicallyhooked2480]

Gonna catch me a slaunch... haha love it

[@SeaDragonAngler]

that drone footage is awesome..... great day with the kid

[@alabamatrout6985]

Are you not hooking the bobber on top and bottom hook?

[@swirv8129]

man that is cool i have never thot of that im going to try it out this year i norm like to go for big bluegill to eat thay are not bad and ez to clean just cut the head off and put butter in them then cook and the skels just wip off GL and have fun

[@tomthomas4666]

Fished blue gill perch with bobber for years. Had a lot of luck but stumbled on a better way to fish the perch. Take the perch dorsal fin up stick him in the head to kill. Now hook him like a minnow through the back no bobber no weight. Cast in areas you might throw a worm around edges and drop offs. Be sure to push release button if you set your rod down. If you don't get a bite after a few minutes cast and reel on top of water to atrack attention and stop and let him slowly sink. I have caught several big bass doing this a lot more successful than cork. Mostly I fish farm ponds. Good fishing everyone!!!!!!!

[@kzilla1271]

What kind of hook did you use for the bass?

[@Rays_Adventures]

What size circle hooks you use for this method?

[@rayshawncrazycatch324]

I Love.yo videos bro💯 and shout out max dab at the end lol💪💯💯

[@yosmocosmo5525]

I've noticed that blue gills are the preferred bait to use for bass fishing. I was wondering if I can use small bullheads? If so, is the set up the same as you did with the bluegill or is it different?

[@BrileeOrr]

I usually trim their spines because they seem to be scared off by the spines

[@workingclasssacramento]

What size of hooks are you using for the live bluegill? I keep getting big bass on bluegill, but i think i am using to small of hooks. Because i am not landing the fish

[@v3124]

He said 0000 or 00000
