  • This are the clearest shots I have ever got of fish! We dropped our camera in a highly pressured warm water discharge that feeds into the Potomac river.
    We saw bass, bluegill, catfish, and even some tilapia down there! The fish were fairly finicky, and did not seem to interested in the worm, but we still got some amazing footage.
    As a reminder we were fishing very cold winter conditions, so I am eager to see how fish react come the summer time.
    This underwater camera is amazing and so versatile. I cannot wait to use it again! There is a link down below to the camera if you all wanna check it out!

    Your worm was DOA and never moved a bit. Don't hook it so many times and fish with the whole worm instead of pinching it in half. If they see your worm wiggling on the bottom they'll be more likely to take it. If you feel like the bait is just to large switch to smaller worms like maybe a red wiggler.

    Good stuff. I'd be interested to see real time of both the bite and how it affects the rod tip. I've been fishing the mississippi for catfish and am to the point to where I feel like I can tell the difference between a cat or a gar bite. But I'm still so curious as to what's going on under there to make that rod tip look different.of course, fishing in very heavy current makes a huge difference too.

    Wow! This is so cool! I can't believe these fish were so active on a high pressure clear blue sky sunny day. Usually that turns fish off and then become lethargic and bury in the weeds. But that would explain why they weren't feeding, but the warm water may have kept them active if it was cold out . I can't believe there's invasive species like tilapia as well in the Potomac River! You should try injecting the worm with air using a needle and syringe. There's videos on how to do it and the worm would float up or put a floating jig head that might have helped

    Panfish and bass will usually go for a suspended bait much more readily, especially if it's 6-12 inches off the bottom. I'm sure this would be tricky with a camera attached to your fishing line...maybe run a longer leader from the camera and put some sort of float just above the bait/hook, and give it some action every now and then.

    We don't even have a place to buy worms around this area of Massachusetts. I guess you have to even buy them online too.

    AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS DUDE 🤙🤙🤙 MAYBE TRY LEAVING HALF OF THE WORM OFF THE HOOK TO WIGGLE AROUND SOME TO ATTRACT THEIR ACTION 🤔 ??

    Another thing. Using a love worm always hook up a bobber especially for panfish of any kind. You'll get more bites with your worm off the bottom.
