One of the Best ways to Catch Pressured BASS!

[@drdirtymcfly2029]

I just yoinked a 4 lb bass with a classic red and black worm, hooked to a Texas rig using a 1/16oz bullet weight.

[@JVBfishing]

That's a great fish. I'll have to try the red and black worm.

[@scottmichael3745]

I use bluegills for cat fishing. Works great!

[@JVBfishing]

Yeah, that's cool. I've seen people do that, but the ponds I've fished in don't seem to have any catfish.

[@Gstar5150]

Bluegill is good but shads definitely better.

[@JVBfishing]

@@Gstar5150Do you use shad as cut bait, or live bait?

[@Gstar5150]

@@JVBfishing I just use frozen whole ones since you don't have to lug a castnet around they work just as good.

[@JVBfishing]

@@Gstar5150 ok that makes sense

[@thomasbarnhouse8621]

texas rig, all day

[@JVBfishing]

That is an awesome lure, I love a texas rigged weightless fluke.

[@montanatatum9598]

This is also illegal with some extreme consequences like revoked fishing licenses.

[@JVBfishing]

First of all I don't have to get a license until I'm 17, and second of all sun fish are not game fish (in Texas at least) so this is perfectly legal.

[@colenorstad09]

You might want to look up the laws cause it is actually illegal to do in texas...

[@JVBfishing]

@@colenorstad09 This is the website tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/general-rules-regulations/general-fishing-regulations

[@JVBfishing]

@@colenorstad09 It says you are not allowed to use game fish as bait, but blue gill are not listed as game fish. But if you can find where state law says this is illegal send me the link.

[@colenorstad09]

@JVBfishing that's weird that they are not a game fish tbh. Also I think it depends on what county your in when it comes to Texas. It's definitely illegal in Minnesota.

[@SkyScopeImaging]

Can’t speak for other states but its illegal to use gamefish as bait in Florida.

[@billybeeland793]

Same in Ga

[@JVBfishing]

Same in TX, but bluegills are not game fish.

[@SkyScopeImaging]

If they have a bag limit they are gamefish.

[@JVBfishing]

@@SkyScopeImaging ok, I don't think there is a bag limit in Texas

[@hunterstark2178]

That’s not a lure

[@JVBfishing]

That's true, I could have reworded that.

[@amp-uspsashootingsports4336]

Also can't speak for other states but; DONT Use game fish in Minnesota as bait!

[@JVBfishing]

Are bluegills considered game fish in Minnesota?

[@amp-uspsashootingsports4336]

Yessir, last i checked 2023 rule book. Havent been out this year fishing yet myself or looked in 24 book. But as far as I know it's been in place for some time here. Thank you for clarification.

[@JVBfishing]

@@amp-uspsashootingsports4336 Yep thanks for the comments

[@alexraszeja9266]

If you kill a bluegill just to release a tiny bass- you ain't sport fishing. This is just ragebait.

[@JVBfishing]

As far as I know this is perfectly legal

[@Sam-mu5xh]

Why does everyone say "let's go" nowadays??

[@JVBfishing]

good question
