How to Catch a Fish With a Live Worm for Bait - 3 Ways (Beginner Fishing Tips)

Great video! It was straight forward, to the point, easy to understand, you gave multiple options, you explained everything in simple terms and produced actual results. AND....there were no product endorsements, no "hit like and subscribe" and no annoying background music. 5 out of 5 stars! Again, excellent video.

Probably one of the best fishing videos I’ve seen. No filler, no extended monologues about things that people of this skill level aren’t going to understand anyway

Just started fishing about a month ago and so far I've had the most success with live worms under a bobber! Where I live it usually catches me little smallmouths, but I've also caught a small yellow bullhead via this method.

I grew up fishing with worm & bobber from my Dad. We would "hunt" for red wigglers in our compost pile before going on our evening trips. It wasn't until I was in my late 30's that I started trying the lure method. I STILL go with the live worm method - but I have to buy them now at the local bait shop. I do take a second pole that is set up for lure to get my practice in with lure fishing. But live worms is my favorite way to fish. I've also taught my kids and now my grand daughter to fish with a worm as well. Thank you for this video!

Lots of these other guys who teach fishing on youtube just do it as an excuse to show off their equipment or their catches. You're the best by far! You make it simple to understand, your voice is calm and nice to listen to, and your examples are very easy to understand visually (i watched your different bait lure videos and that was great too). One thing about this video, you mentioned multiple times how you're looking at the line or the bobber to see action, but the camera doesn't show it that well on this video. Maybe you can come up with an example to show what you mean, even if it's not with a live fish. Keep up the great content!

I fish for trout using the split shot and night crawler, letting it dangle on the hook , also leave some slack in the line once it settles to the bottom then just wait for a bite ,the slack in the line will straighten out when a fish picks it up . I’ve fished this way since I was about ten years old in the lake near our home . That was almost seventy years ago, yes they had spinning rods and reels then . I would walk across the street to Mrs. Woods and walk down to her dock and sit there on a bench which was built right into the dock and catch trout that were stocked in the lake . I had to buy a trout stamp and license when I turned twelve years old , that cost one dollar each . Sorry but my dad and me would eat the trout , they were very tasty . I’m seventy nine now and I’m going to try it again, only now I don’t need a license or a trout stamp once your seventy or older and this time I’m going to release any fish I catch .😊

I fish a lot but just recently started fishing for things other than bait fish for catfish lines so these vids are very helpful I currently love the Torwarte frogs thank you

Here because I can't even catch a cold

I grew up fishing with my uncles as a kid, I’m 30 years old now and really getting into fishing on my own. Your videos give me more knowledge and confidence to get out there and start fishing again. Thank you!

I am so jealous how you caught 3 so fast and I was sitting in the sun for hours for nothing. lol. Begginer here.

Thank you so much for spending the time to make these super educational videos , I’m not a beginner but I still learn a lot from you and it’s great for my beginner friends

Finally got a video to show me the 3 basic ways to fish with a worm. Thanks so much. I saved your video.

I just got back home after fishing for 7 hours…and why better to do is watch some fishing videos 😂 I use soft plastics, spinners, spoons, jigs etc for bass and pike…after seeing your video I feel like another trip out on the lake with some night crawlers is in order…great video buddy you just earned yourself a subscriber! Wouldn’t mind catching some smaller fish also and bring me back to when I started fishing 😊

i've been getting back into fishing and now that i'm older i was thinking mayber i should learn more, go for the bigger fish not just what works. all my life i'be only used worms, i think it's all that works in my muddy pond or so i told myself. idk long story short after getting into lures and gear and such here i am 2 am some midwesterner on youtube is reminding me that bottom fishing is a thing. great vids nat love the under water footage. i think my huge preference to worms has really held me back

Sometimes I put the worm on a jig and use it like a soft plastic. For catfish I use a 4 or 5 ott ott hook and put 2 nightcrawlers on it weightless. Great video!

Not sure how to thank you. I learned more here about fishing than I ever have

Thank you thank you thank you. Great video I gave you a follow. I love to fish and love using red worms. I have lures but hate getting snagged and losing them. This is the best video I've seen in a very long time. I'm going to share this with my fishing buddy. My daughter 😁

I always just put on a worm and casted it out. Now i will be a pro. Thanks nat

I'm coming full circle, after buying the Rapala's, Shads etc I am now back to fishing with a nightcrawler and my catch rate it through the roof...plus I have a much lighter bag!! Thanks!

#1 thing about split shot weights. Get the removable shot, its easier to adjust the weights and change out. Especially when using the same line but with different lures & baits. To me, your #1 & #3 are the best methods.
