**Crazy Underwater Footage** Big Bass Attacking Bluegill Lures!

Come underwater and watch these bass attacking bluegill! We’re using a variety of bluegill imitating swimbaits and plastic worms to elicit reaction strikes. Early Spring signals the start of the war between bass and bluegill, let us show you how to take advantage of it and catch more bass in today’s underwater video!

Once bass turn their attention to the shallows, bluegill become an immediate threat. Instinctively, bass begin to erratic them from their shallow haunts. Knowing this, we can stay one step ahead of the bass. By imitating bluegill we are able to draw on the bass’ natural aggression and ultimately catch more fish.

In today’s underwater footage we used a variety of bluegill imitators. From worms to swimbaits, we’ve linked all of the baits below in the order they appeared in the video. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included rigging components where relevant.

**Insane Underwater Footage** Fish Attacking Lures And Bass Fishing Tips!

Watch these bass attacking all kinds of lures! They’re ambushing jigs, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and even topwater! We’re studying their behavior to understand what makes them lash out. When we know what causes them to let one lure pass by and then suddenly eat the next, we can adapt our fishing. Studying underwater footage will make you a better angler and let’s face it, watching a giant bass explode on a Whopper Plopper is pretty fun too!

Triggering a feed response is more than just using the right lures, its knowing what it takes to get a fish to feed. Its amazing to see the similarities regardless of the lure. The same hop of a jig that causes the bass to lash out with fool a mid column fish when you twitch the jerkbait. There is something about that break in cadence, that extra twitch or hop, that causes those fish to lash out.

Below you’ll find links to all the baits in the video. We’ve included the exact colors we were using along with any upgrades, including hooks on the S-Waver and trailers on the jigs. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How Fish React To Different Lures – Incredible Underwater Bite Footage!

Come underwater and watch the incredible reactions these fish have to different lures! Watch how incredibly accurate they are as they strike at lures while dodging the hooks. Its amazing! Most anglers consider fish to be basic and instinctual but this footage suggests they have incredible control while attacking their prey. While watching their behavior Tim provides key clues to help you adapt your fishing to become a better bass fisherman this year.

This video came about because Tim was watching underwater footage of bass while quarantined at home during this pandemic. He noticed a tendency with the fish to bite just behind the hook on a jig. As he began digging through footage he noticed it was the same with worms and swimbaits as well. Could it be that bass are really that smart? It would appear so! With that in mind, what can you do differently to increase your odds of catching these fish?

Tim suggests a few different solutions. The first is to shorten the trailers on your jigs. The shorter the pinchers are, the more likely they’ll fully engulf the jig. Second is to adapt your hooks, even going to a red hook to draw a directed strike toward the hook. For finesse fishermen, Tim suggests going to smaller worms, lighter line, and much smaller hooks so they go unnoticed by the bass. Lastly, adjust your hookset on larger baits. Often times its wise to wait a moment and give the fish the opportunity to fully engulf the bait.

Below is a breakdown of the baits in order of appearance. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included color recommendations to help you fish with confidence.
