WORMS VS MINNOWS - What Bait Catches More Fish?

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

Wrap a worm around a minnow, then hook and throw that winnow out there!!! 🤣🤣🤙✌️🎣

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@KevinRapkochFishing 🤣🤣🤣 that’ll do it lmao. Thanks for watching brotha!

[@Birdofthetacklebox]

Feed minnow worm, use minnow as bait

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Birdofthetacklebox big minnow 🤣

[@rohandosadventures]

That’s actually not a terrible idea, bait a worm then bait a minnow, minnow looks like it is eating the worm but is just trying to get off the hook

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

@@rohandosadventures exactly!! 🤙🤙 I recently caught a bunch of rainbows with an "egg sucking leech" fly... It resembles a leech or small lamprey that has snatched a salmon or trout egg, and salmon and trout go nuts trying to attack/eat it! 🤙🤙

[@miniHAWKTTV]

Worms, both nightcrawlers and red worms, are undefeated for me. Only species I've ever noticed that minnows are specifically better for is Crappie and sometimes White or Striped Bass. But I also love worms because you don't have to be careful with casting it. You can whip them out super far with no fear of losing it on the cast. That's just my personal experience though.

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@miniHAWKTTV absolutely. I have never caught crappie on worms but funny enough 90% of my stripers were on worms lol. Worms definitely have their advantages but for pressured fish or specific species minnows will get it done 🔥

[@B-RY556]

You can catch yellow bass on beetle spins.. they tear them up every time

[@peterolbrisch8970]

Nice to see someone who knows the right way to hook a crawler.

[@Ibanez_74]

In my area we have a strong current. We never yank the rod to set the hook. Maybe we might pull a little against the current. But never rip the lips off the fish. Lol. All jokes aside. I understand you are in a small pond and need to set the hook. Most of us here fish tiny ponds like this for fun teaching out next generation. I dont mean any harm by this statement . Just saying we teach them to be calm and set the hook. Dont rip the lips off the fish. They will get away and have a hard time eating food. Lol. Love your videos, my friend. Please dont take this personally. We just have different locations.

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Ibanez_74 no offense taken! I’d love to fish big lakes like Lake Michigan down here but we’re rather limited in the desert. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you!

[@Ibanez_74]

I mostly agreed with you. I will like the video. However, I am in a different location. Worms do well. However minnows are way better in my location. I am lucky to live on the Great Lakes. To outsiders they think it is an ocean. In reality, this is fresh water. Mainly because you can't see any shoreline line when out on the lake. It could seem like an ocean to outsiders. Depending on the fish and time of year. We use different bait, including lure. I suppose every best fisherman has the knowledge of the area they are in. If you are born or raised or fished long enough in the area. Just saying in your area. This was a good video, and i appreciate this content. Thanks for the video.

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Ibanez_74 very cool! I got to fish Lake Michigan once and it definitely felt like being on an ocean. Thanks for watching!

[@rhettr11]

hey man! i see you are missing a lot of fish because they are spitting it out! And i see you have a pretty good size hook! I learned that if you are catching smaller fish you need to have a size 10 hook. so the fish can fit it in there mouths fully. that is a lot of youtubers problem! just try it! Size 10 Hook.

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@rhettr11 hey man! I’ve done a lot of micro fishing, using size 30 hooks. I’ve got a lot of fish with much smaller mouths than the yellow bass on bigger hooks, bluegill have smaller mouths that you can’t even lip, these yellow bass you can lip pretty easily. I don’t have this problem with any other fish, only the yellow bass. And the reason why is because the yellow bass are super finicky and non-committing and will drop the bait before you even realize you’re getting a bite. No matter how many times I go after yellow bass it’s always been like that and it’s never been like that for any other species. I have tried fishing for yellows with hooks as small as size 12 and I still have the same problem every time. Thanks for watching!

[@rhettr11]

[@Graceclaw]

As a multi-species angler, I really only use minnows for specific species. Gar, crappie, white/yellow bass, etc

@@Graceclaw fair enough. That’s how I’ve caught my gar and crappie, for me it’s the same or if I’m using them for a video. Thank you for watching!

[@tompriceusmc]

Interesting, because the last video I saw like this on KZbin was years ago by a guy named Lojo, and minnows won in a landslide. Overall, I think minnows are the better bait, but as you said they can be harder to acquire and keep alive.

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@tompriceusmc oh sweet I had no idea he made a video like this! I like minnows for a lot of reasons but yes they are very difficult to keep long-term, if they didn’t take up so much space and didn’t require maintenance to keep alive I would fish with them so much more

@@MrVILLAR11 nah I believe you! I didn’t know in your original comment you were talking about this specific spot I thought you were talking about another course. I’m just super curious cause I fished that spot probably 100 times and never even seen a flathead there or pulled out of there, but with all the irrigation coming in for the summer grass it’s possible that some got in or that some have been there a while and I’ve just never caught them! I’ve got to give it a shot now haha. Also a lot of people channel catfish on Fishbrain as flathead and I know there’s lots of channels in there so you got me curious haha. Good stuff man!

[@malfuncxion3080]

I think, minnows have the potential to catch more bigger fish, and worms definitely catch more small fish attention, but worms don't rule out the possibility of a bigger fish either, there's just more small game going for it 😂

I live in Minneapolis. Up here minnows are better. More multi species. If you throw out a worm the pan fish just gobble them up before the big fish. But if you put on a fathead minnow if you catch a panfish its pretty decent size. You are right about the taking care of them though

Then what happens if I get hit on that rod, it could go flying in the water. If I only had one rod that would be fine but 2 rods it doesn’t make sense. Also I have to change camera batteries, move camera around for different angles and lighting, I mean do I have to keep going? Are we seriously complaining about someone using rod holders?? 🤣🤣 let’s be real bro

What’s up!!

Worms are better

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@BenjaminBaijan I agree definitely for convenience and versatility. But minnows are a good option in certain scenarios and for certain species 🙏

[@BenjaminBaijan]

True

[@SpaDeSladz]

Every fishing video is like this they always say there hot but there also wearing a long sleeve but why

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@SpaDeSladz maybe you are unfamiliar with how landscapers and construction workers stay cool. I’ve done both landscaping and construction and I can promise you all of us wore long sleeves every time the ambient air temperature is not what makes us hot, it’s the sun touching our skin that makes us hot. And with the amount of time I spend outside in the sun it’s to protect my skin from consistent UVdamage. I always feel hotter in short sleeves and I always go home with a sunburn

Channel cats love dead minnows btw

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Graceclaw true that. I can never catch channel catfish at this pond consistently though, I went like six months out catching one and finally caught a couple in the last few times I’ve been. Thanks for watching!

[@Spinner510]

The fishing videos you make are so entertaining, at first I thought you were a huge channel, but only 10k?!?! That's insane, I hope your dreams come true both KZbin and non KZbin :)

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Spinner510 thank you so much for the kind words! It’s funny cause I can hardly believe I even made it to 10,000 in such a little time, I’m already more blessed than I could ask for. Thank you so much for your support, I’m glad I can provide you with some quality entertainment ❤️❤️

MINNOWS

[@FishingWithPorter]

One of my all time favorites 🔥

[@Koolestkidaround]

Tighten your drag!!

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Koolestkidaround yeah yeah yeah you’re like the 12th person to tell me. 2 things I’m gonna tell you, 1 I fish 4 pound line, how tight do you think I can make it? 2 I landed every fish I hooked in this video so what’s it matter to you?

[@Koolestkidaround]

@@FishingWithPorterit would take less amount of time to land the fish with a tighter drag

[@FishingWithPorter]

@@Koolestkidaround I’m in no rush brother. But seriously why do you care? Don’t want to watch the fight? Just skip it! Don’t wanna skip it? Then don’t watch my videos! Please worry about yourself and let me fish the way I want to.

[@Koolestkidaround]
