 Since the beginning of time fishermen have been using live worms to catch multiple different species which is interesting because worms don't live underwater. Well that's actually not true. Supposedly they can live up to two weeks underwater but still maybe that's the trick. A fish seeing a worm underwater is pretty rare which may lead to them being more interested in biting it. So today we're running an experiment. We're going to go fishing with live worms for whatever bites. We would like to see how many species we can catch in five hours but first we need to get some supplies. We're going to head to a local gas station in South Georgia that we've been to in the past to pick up our tackle. So let's go ahead and get inside and see what we get. First thing we need is some bobbers. We can use this for more of a traditional worm on a bobber rig. Second we need some hooks. I've decided to go with some small panfish hooks and also some bigger hooks for whatever bigger fish would like to bite. I also grabbed some basic split shots for our weights. But lastly we obviously need our worms. We decided to go with some smaller worms and also some big night crawlers. But now that we got all of our supplies it is time to hit the river. All right boys we have our supplies that we got from the gas station. We're gonna go over here to the back of the truck and go ahead and have everything laid out that we need. So everything that we got from the store we got these big old worms. Look at this. We wanted to get a variety. Some massive night crawlers right there and then we also have these worms. Those are actually a little smaller. I think we got a good variety here and then we have some split shots. I got like three bobbers and then also the hooks. I pretty much got a smaller shank for like bluegill and whatever smaller fish and then I also got a bigger one for really whatever else bites that we can use that for. So that's pretty much everything that we got. I got a kick in combo and a mock crush or actually a mock smash right here. The old mock smash, the red rod and kicking combo is the green one. If you guys want to check out any of the kick in their bass TV ex-loose combos you can check them out kickintheirbass.com. Before we rig up I kind of want to show you guys where we came out to. Before we get deeper into this video only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed so if you could take the time at the subscribe button really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. So this is a boat ramp that we've fished in the past. We've tried the catfish out here. We've tried bass fishing out here. Me and my boy Bradley way back actually took a John boat out here. We went bass fishing. This is actually off the Ogichi River. So I kind of wanted to start here more of a natural spot. It's not like a pond. This is a natural river and I just wanted to see what we can catch here because our goal is to catch as many species as we can. I think this is a great start but as we pulled up here we kind of had a problem. This place is ridiculously flooded. As you guys can tell there is water everywhere. The whole boat ramp isn't even visible anymore with how much water has been flooded up to the surface. So there was also a bank down here in the corner that I actually envisioned walking to but it's in existing guys. The water is up about 40 foot 50 foot on the bank. We actually have all this grass right. When you have a big storm or the water's flooded I notice a lot of these bass or a lot of these fish in general push up shallow. You know all that water's getting up in that soil. All those creatures. Everything's coming out of it and a lot of the fish are going to be pushed up pretty shallow right now. So I wanted to try it. So we're going to go back and rig up. We have this island right here. All this grass. I think it's a good spot for us to start off on this video. We're still going to hop around some ponds some swampy areas maybe some more rivers and just see how we can expand the whole species gap in this video and see how many different fish we can catch. Our goal is probably five but you know we might catch more than that. Got the boy Connor with me today. What's going on Pan? You ready? I'm ready. Ready with this live warm action. This is a fun little fish and experiment guys. We've done these videos where we fish with a bait for whatever bites in the past and you guys loved them. So this is just a new little style to it. If you guys like these videos let us know down below. We're going to go ahead and get rigged up here. So I actually already have some split shots rigged up on this. I'm going to take one of these off and just leave one on. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to end up rigging up just one of these small pan fish hooks and putting a little bobber on and then Connor's going to do something a little bit different. Alright so while Noah is setting up that other rig I'm going to do something a little different with this Moc Smash. So I have a bigger hook on here. We're going to pinch on two bullet weights about here and here and we're just going to throw this thing out there in the middle and we're actually going to rock a little bit bigger of a worm with this one. Little pinch there. I think two of those is probably all that we're going to need. Go ahead and grab us one of these little stinky boys right here. We're actually just going to rig this entire thing up on the hook. A pile of stinky boys there and we're good to go. Let's go ahead and get down to the water. So boys this is a pretty simple rig that I'm going to start off with. Just your basic bobber up top split shot in the middle. Fall it all the way down by this small shank hook for pan fish. This is what I'm going to start off with just to try to get whether there's some red depth breast, regular bluegill, some sunfish, pretty much anything. I think Connor's going to start off with these big worms. I'm actually going to start off with some of the smaller ones. So let's go ahead and get that rigged up real quick. Well these worms are hyper too boy. Look at that. I think to start off I'm actually going to go with the whole worm on here. I usually don't do that but let's just rig up this whole guy. That looks spicy boys. So that's what we're starting off with. Let's go ahead and get out to the bank and see if we can get a bite. All right boys we're going to see if my whole thought process on this little island right here and also on the edge of this grass is going to hold some fish. I think I'm going to start off throwing right up on this island. Cool part about this is this river has current so you've got a lot of current moving out there and this is pretty much just a little current break. So this is a great little spot for some fish to set up in my opinion right on this little island and I can't recall if this usually sits out of the water or not. Either way I think there's going to be some fish up here. I just got to get a good cast. There we go right there in the shade. Little current break because of that island. Should be some fish up there. I'm going to go ahead and start off right here. Toss this thing out there. This rig does not have a bobber on it so we are just going to be letting that bait sit right there on the bottom. Oh there we go boys we just got a bit. Here we go we're getting bit. Oh no no shot. Okay well that's our first bite. I'm actually going to slide this bobber down ever so slightly. I think it's pretty shallow in that corner but that's exactly what we needed. We needed something to get us excited there. Just a little bite. Come on fish bite me again. That got me excited guys. I just want to see what our first fish. Here we go he's biting it again. Look at that. He's beating at it. Yes sir buddy. Come on. Oh my gosh okay. I'm going to tighten this worm up just ever so slightly. I think he's just grabbing the end of it and messing with it. Wanting to be able to get that one bite. This split shot just keeps on sliding down my line too. I might need to go crank that down when I go back to the car. Let's see if we can catch him again. He's biting right there. He's honestly a little shallower guys like exactly what I was talking about earlier which I was hoping some of these fish would be pushed up by a lot of this vegetation or just grass in general. Yeah he's messing with it again. There he goes. Look at him running off with it. He might be really small. All right boys that fish ended up taking my worm and I have a strategy here. We don't need to go as big as we did with whatever's biting me over there so we're probably going to have one of these worms. We're just going to get a little piece like that. Nothing big. Oh dropped him. See that? Just a little chunk. We're going to triple dip it there about three times up the hook. I think that's money. So a lot smaller, way more finesse. This fish shouldn't have a problem grabbing this. I'm just curious to see what it is guys. This Ogichi River has a ton of different fish in it. So I wanted to start off this video here. Just a wide variety of really anything out here in this river. All right let's see. See if we can get him to bite. Yep he's biting already. A line keeps getting hung up in these trees. There he is right there. Oh my god that was actually our best bite yet. So we didn't really have any more bites. You know I had that small fish that just kept pecking my bobber and we just decided to leave. You know the Ogichi River when it gets floated like that it can just be really tough. So we actually just came out to a pond now. So we fished the river at the start. Now we're out at a pond. Connor caught a lot of big ones here so I'm pretty excited about it. And I think there's some big bass that we can catch on these worms and also possibly some really big bluegill or catfish or mudfish. Boys we're actually going with a full worm on this one. These worms are still super active. We had a little drive to get out to this place. But we're finally out here now. Let's see if we can catch that first spot. I had high hopes for once I saw it flooded. I was like uh might not be as good as what we thought. We're going to rig up a few of these things on the hook. Those big ones are just kind of uh kind of dead. So we got this little lay down right here. In my opinion that would be a prime spot for some of these fish to be on. I really need to find the hot zone. I'm trying to pop off like a bluegill or really anything that I eat this little worm pretty quick here and then we can move on to whatever else we want to catch. Connor's going for a bass over there. Guys I think we might have something playing with us here. Just saw the line jump. Oh he came off. Catching a fish on this worm I don't think is going to be the hard part. It's more of just finding where the fish are located. If I can find where the fish are at bite should not be a problem. I'm going to go ahead and throw a second one on there. It seems like they like it when there's two of them crawly boys hanging from that thing. We're going to throw this right back out there. We just had a bite like right off of that bank there. So let's throw this out. Let it sit for a second. He should pick it up again. So boys I haven't had any luck fishing for these bluegill. I had those bites at the first spot we hit today but we're going to hit some other spots later in the day. So I'm actually going to cut this off and I'm going to go for whatever big can bite. Kind of what Connor's doing right now except I'm going to do it a little different. You have yours on the bottom right? Yep. I'm going to keep mine on a bobber. So we're going to put one of these bigger hooks on and put one of these big old night crawlers on and we should be good. Give that a shot out here. Just debating to put my bobber a little higher maybe. We'll test this out. So guys growing up me and my grandad I mean that's pretty much how I started fishing. We would pretty much get a bobber like that put a hook same way and put some night crawlers on there and we would just sit there and wait and we catch a ton of really big bass. So I guess we're going to see if that same concept works today. It's just a kind of a waiting game. Oh here we go. Here we go. Oh dude. I saw that. That was a crazy thump. What the heck? He definitely took it. What's going on? Dude. Hey at least you're getting bites though. That's a good sign and we know it's not a bluegill. At least we don't think. Yeah I wouldn't think it is. I would definitely assume that it's a bass. Could be wrong though. What is doing that? I think I should just flip it over there. It keeps popping right here. I don't know what it is. Oh here we go. Here we go. Just hammered it. I don't even think he has it though. What? Oh what do you got? What? Dude are you kidding me? A bluegill. What? Okay with the way that fish was hitting it though. All right all right for one though I literally put this big hook on there because I wanted to catch a big bass on it but hey you know what that's our first species right there. Got my personal servant here taking the fish off the hook for me. Guys exactly what type of I mean there's so many different types of sunfish and bluegill. I'm pretty sure that's just a standard bluegill but if I am incorrect I'm not too knowledgeable on bluegills let me know down below exactly what type of sunfish this is. Pretty sure it's just a standard bluegill though but there you go Connor that's not what I thought you were going to catch but at least we're on board now you know. Good job first fish that's one species out of the way. It's just so crazy man because I'm throwing this worm on a bobber you would think that they would hit it and you're having to be on the bottom out there. It's hard too because like one strategy can be excellent one day and then you go out and try it again and they just won't hit it. I mean that's the whole purpose of our video though is just trying different things and figuring out all the different fish that we can catch today guys you know this is not something that we do I'm actually gonna take my bobber off Connor. Won't kind of do what you did but yeah I mean we don't we don't ever really do this and thought it would be something cool for us to come and experience and have you guys watch this so oops all right see see the line just popping like crazy now I'm gonna let him eat for just a second that fish should have the bait now so we're just gonna pick it up slowly he doesn't have the bait it's crazy how much the line is jumping though that's my only indicator whereas when you have a bobber on you kind of watch it you see it kind of pop down or disappear you know you got a fish but when you're free lining it you know that baits just sitting on the bottom so you either got to watch the line or another thing you can do is you know kind of pull it up right here and just let it sit in your finger and you can actually feel it when they bite oh that was a bite that was 100% a bite oh yeah golly boy he's got it I got him look at that dude big freaking bluegill man see the side of that one looks different though doesn't it compared to the last one you pan fish specialist let me know he ate that hook a little bit I'm gonna try to get that out but y'all pan fish specialists let us know I don't know Connor I think that's pretty much the same it's regular bluegill here we go boys my first beautiful bluegill of the day it's a nice one he did that thing good too thank you baby it's crazy they're getting that big hook dude I know that's what I'm thinking I can't even catch them on a tiny hook and if you guys know the explanation of that I mean let me know I'm just hoping we can stumble we know there's a lot of big bass here guys I mean me and Connor have both caught a lot of his right in this area so we know they're down there it's just pretty much the luck of the draw here we go look at that line look at that line I got him what do we got we got another little little sunfish let me see that hold on that's a different one 100% I want to say that's our second species though it's technically still just a regular bluegill but I'm pretty sure that that's a that's a sunfish Connor I think there's like a tiger trout we got a species number two going back into pond see you buddy so what you caught first was definitely just a standard bluegill right oh yeah that was the second one you caught wait I'm getting hit again so it's still considered a bluegill Connor but it is a different type of blue yeah we need to catch some bass catfish gar mudfish something something different you know what I mean I think we'll be able to get a catfish pretty easily but I also think like a bass won't be the too hard for us dude these things are just hammering it bro I've never caught bluegill how we are now which is just so interesting I don't know if you talked to him about this but they actually eat grass and that fish kind of dove to the ground there and he's trying to get a snack they do not eat grass we're actually about to pack up from this place we did get a start to the video so we got just a regular pan fish and a standard bluegill so now we're going to try to target either some big bass some catfish or maybe even a big gar all right boys we're out at a whole new spot this is a pretty scenic one I think you guys are going to like and we're going to see if we can catch a mudfish a gar something that would be hiding out in the swamp I've got a lot of muds and gar here in the past I just don't see how a gar would eat this worm unless I just put it in front of his nose and he just happened to hit it look at it like look at these boils here there's a lot of activity a lot of fish in here first I just want to see if I can spot something I mean there's so many boils and movement around this place has a lot of activity which is a great sign I mean look at that boys maybe let's go over here there we go look at that you would think I'm fishing in the water right here but it turns out that most of the fish are actually on the bridge so that's why I casted over there all right let's try that one more time there we go it turns out that fish actually tend to stay in the water and they don't go on the bridges as often times change man you see anything swimming not yet you should have saw when I walked right there it was like stuff moving everywhere we have definitely hit the most today guys just trying a bunch of different stuff between ponds rivers now we're in like a swamp oh oh I scared them dude there were two gar they saw me from that far away you could probably see where the angle you're we might try to do a comment look at that boys that is not what we want that's a dead snake try it up carfish one thing I don't mess with is them snakeies I do not like for us to catch a gar guys we're gonna have to get ultra lucky I'm talking like throw it in front of his nose and like hook set like he might just try to go after it very slim chance that's not how gar eat but I don't think it's impossible oh here we go here we go what is that is that a mud no way get them boy oh dude he's pulling drag oh my gosh that's a giant mud dog oh my which side do you want to take them on you want to take them on down there over there right yeah over on that side don't lose them yeah I'd walk him down dude that's a big mudfish right there holy cow I guess my gut paid off dude it did holy cow that's a unit of a mud yes sir wow look at that big boy dude that's a nice big bofin right there that is our second to third species of the video and I'm just honestly surprised I thought that this swamp place could could hold some of these big muds or gar and uh if anything was going to bite the worm it would definitely be a mudfish and heck you got slammed bro well good job that's that's awesome third species off the list boom no one's trying to give me to hold this thing it's got a spider on it look at that yeah you're not a chance this thing's actually got a spider on it so I'm going to do a little bit of a that is so funny dude good job though that was sick hook sending that fish all the way in that corner walking all the way down on top of the bridge to get down here to land the fish that was sick I guess it was worth coming to the swamp guys I had mixed feelings on it but I was like this we've had a tough time today this would be sick and we pulled it off heck yeah dude on to the next spot oh all right boys we're out at yet again another pond this is actually a place that I haven't fished in about four years so we're gonna give it a shot and just see what we can catch see if we can add any more fish on the species list you know we caught two different pan fish and then we also caught or Connor caught that mudfish which was just clutch but now it's time for us to at least catch a bass bro if we if we're kicking their bass and we don't catch a bass I don't I don't know how I feel about that kicking their bram kicking their mudfish kicking everything but the bass watch him bite like so quick in here dude imagine Connor look are you getting him oh what was that I have no idea what it was it's probably a bluegill that small what oh my no dude that was a bass dude what happened dude I was railing at full speed to read I was literally going to recast it and I'm burning it back in and that fish ate it right there what you're telling me he chased your one dude no no I'm talking like poles and he just totally exploded on it that is insane are you kidding me what is it going on that's pretty crazy bro that was a bass well guys that is pretty ridiculous hey maybe we figured out a new strategy dude look at that Connor oh boys that's a bass right there dude yeah I got a bass I got a freaking bass boys let's go right when Connor lost his oh he came off bro we were going back for him Connor was burning and missed a bass I just took the bass in that corner when it was instant too it's like the moment I landed in the water there's actually a boil over there again there might there must just be a lot of fish in this corner right there get ready boys get ready come on eat it there we go oh my god pulled it a little bit a little too quick it might not have been a bass there was a big boil only it seemed there's another big bass over there there we go oh get him off yeah they're loaded in this corner though a little tiny bass right here let's see if I can catch this one this fish is literally right in front of me oh my gosh watch this watch this ready he's going for it oh he just took it he took my worm all right little did I think one of the last species we would catch would be a bass I did not think that's how today would go but hey that's how it's going so we just need to lock in here catch us a dang bass boys all right dude we need a bass very badly very very badly give me big stinky mama right now I thought stinky mama would be up in this pipe you know oh dude oh oh dude I swear this minnow about an inch and a half Connor flopped on the bank and something just came up and ate it dude that was pretty crazy I've never seen a minnow flop up on the bank and then I think a miniature bass or something came up and ate him we just want one more species tonight you're going to sing to him dude gotta play the fishing guitar and everything I think they just think my worm's pitiful they gnawed it down to a freaking centimeter there we go oh no okay you're a step closer than me the small hook's definitely the move I got something dude there is no way that is even possible that I just caught that is it different species yeah dude it's so small it should be considered a different species all right well that's got to be at least the biggest fish I've ever caught in my life look at that thing okay well same species we're throwing him back hopefully we can get some more dude he was on the whole no wonder we're having a hard time catching these things were you just caught one too what the heck I actually thought it was a bass Connor that was that small I was about to start freaking out bro I was two seconds away of screaming like I had a 10 pounder see what I was doing though I was jigging it like this dude I'm telling you it's jigging it dude and there's our other species dude you just gotta hit the jig for him dude you pulled the heavy work on that mudfish and that was a clutch catch there too absolute unit straight out of the factory straight off the assembly line look at this thing did take us a while but we finally got to our other species all right dude back to the depth
