Why Fish Eat A BIG WORM?

[@riccochet704]

Not all about the eel, it's about the water conditions. Since a big worm works in the south as well where we don't have eel's. Those fish go deep to the cooler, more oxygenated water. They're lazy trying to conserve energy, so they'll sit and wait for a big meal to come by. One big meal means less energy wasted chasing down small fish. So it can mean a snake or a dying gar. Same reason big football head mop jigs work as well. They imitate a big bluegill or craw. And big deep divers work. And big spoons. They're summer off shore baits targeting fish that want a single big meal.

I think I’ll try that shaky head ideal. Typically I like throwing an old monster worm with 3/8-1/2 oz weight, I reel it as fast as possible while keeping on the bottom. Good video!

We don't have any eels in my local lakes, but we have quite a few cotton mouth snakes. I know those bass like to go after a big worm in summer so it might be about the same to them.

You need to make a DVD like bill dance has out I could listen to your knowledge all day G'MAN! It don't matter how long you been fishing you always learn something new?

Thanks for the tip

[@mattress2331]

I like the thought process but, We haven't got the Lamprey eels here, but the Big bass still eat big worms! Maybe it's related to Water snakes in MN? I like the rig and break down you have!

[@blackcatlures]

Smaller species of native lamprey live in most people's waters they just don't realize it

Never seen any in Florida, but! They sure eat them snakes!!!

[@billyburton4487]

Very interesting. Here in mississippi I was always told it was because of huge tadpoles and baby snakes. I never even thought about eels. Have seen some but not many. Appreciate the info!!

[@jesseboyden3119]

Yall thinking way to hard about it. Bass are opportunistic. They eat it kuz it looks like prey. Simple as that. Does it matter? Lmao if they eat it, throw it
