What Bait REALLY Catches More Catfish?! (Lost a Rod)

Today we test to see what bait catches more catfish! Hot dogs vs. fresh cut bluegill. This has been an ongoing debate for years now, so lets settle it!
Hotdogs have been used for years for effective catfish bait especially for channel catfish. The scent and texture is unbeatable, and surely catches fish from ponds to big rivers.
Fresh cut bluegill is one of the most used baits from cat fisherman. It is the exact food they feed on, and provides the proper scent and oils to trigger a bite.
How will these baits fare up against stocked channel catfish? Lets find out.

I’ve caught a few huge bass out of those two ponds on hot dogs too!

What pond is it?

[@A10SHOTZ]

Is it Morrison ranch?

[@TiradorArco]

Sweet fishing brother, great bite🎣, that rod went flying😂 awesome as always 🐟🤘🏽.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Heck yea man! The rod launched 😂

[@UnderwaterFishFilms]

interesting experiment for sure

[@miguelbarrero5572]

Nice video as always. Try kool aid or jello hotdogs vs normal hotdogs as see which one catches the most 😊😊

[@TheFishinMagician20]

People will get into that one forsure haha thanks for watching as usual 🙏🏼

[@paulohaver7435]

I know that catfish and carp are caught mostly in the warmer months, so I was told. Do you still fish for them through the winter months and if so, do you change anything? I am guessing this would apply to other warm water speciies like Bass, Crappie, etc. What changes do you make for colder weather? Thanks. Your videos are the best and I have watched many.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

I fish trout a lot more in the colder months. But catfish and carp can be caught year round here in AZ!

[@elnegrogranblanco]

I was in once I saw the thumbnail!!! This 1v1 can go either way depending on time of the year.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

I appreciate it man! Did it go the way you thought?

[@elnegrogranblanco]

@@TheFishinMagician20 Great video. I knew hotdog would win in a pond vs river where live or cut bait would dominate

[@user-if2jb2ko7x]

I have a pond recommendation I fish near you all the time matter of fact I have fished in the pond on the other side and had fun but power ranch pool house lake has tons from bluegill bass catfish tilapia and white amuier every time I go there I catch at least 8 fish just hot dogs

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Oh have been there before! I have a video from about a year and a half ago there

[@user-if2jb2ko7x]

Ok thanks keep doin what you are doing love the vids

[@reubengarcia4773]

If Porter was there & it was his rod, he’d stick a knife in his mouth & go after that rod & come back with the fish too 😂. Great video head 2 head baits. 🎣😉👍

True that! P money secret weapon😂

[@cody.chambers.9421]

Went fishing last Sunday didn’t catch any catfish all morning. They just weren’t biting the bread or magic bait not even worms, but I still use the worms to catch a few bluegill

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Hey no skunk! We take what we can get hahaha

[@HOWLETTRODRIGUEZ]

Hey Mr.magician the next challenge you can use is nightcrawler vs shrimp or muscle so please keep posting those great video.

Had no idea hotdogs would work as bait. I am going to try it out. Do bass eat them too?

[@TheFishinMagician20]

For some reason here in AZ bass eat hotdogs all the time, so I’ll say yes

I did bro I literally casted toward it right after it happened 😂 off camera we tried like 10 more minutes but couldn’t get it

[@RAND0MM]

you should try shrimp with garlic Salt/Powder

[@TheFishinMagician20]

I am thinking of doing that next

[@RAND0MM]

Way cool, It’s what I use a lot, you should try adding a LITTLE bit of something sweet like a half spoon of sugar and just mix it up. I do it about every time.
